Perhaps we do!

Tim,

My point has always been that the range of values in nature far exceed the values available in paint. By understanding the value (as well as hue and chroma) relationships within a scene an artist can recreate the experience of seeing the "real" scene for the viewer. Gerome, at his best, was also a master of this, as well as his student, William McGregor Paxton.
