Palette Analysis
The value structure of Tivadar Kosztka Csontvary is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #B35740, is reserved to 8.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 60 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette is a signature: Tivadar Kosztka Csontvary's particular sense of value, warmth, and colour weight made legible.
