religious painting distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #6A5230, is reserved to 9.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 57 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
