"It ought, in my opinion, to be indispensably observed, that the masses of light
in a picture be always of a warm, mellow colour, yellow, red, or a yellowish
white, and that the blue, the grey, or the green colours be kept almost entirely
out of these masses, and be used only to support or set off these warm colours;
and for this purpose, a small proportion of cold colour will be sufficient. Let
this conduct be reversed; let the light be cold, and the surrounding colour
warm, as we often see in the works of the Roman and Florentine painters, and
it will be out of the power of art, even in the hands of Rubens and Titian, to
make a picture splendid and harmonious.“
Sir Joshua Reynolds
