The Zorn seems to be a rule breaker. The background figures -- the ones in bright light -- are, by logic, dominant, and the foreground dancers are painted in more subued colors and softer light. Still, the composition is so strong that your eye is drawn straight to where Zorn wants it.

It's like the delimma of painting a subtle blue object in the foreground and a bright orange one in the background, and still getting the blue to advance. The composition is what makes it work. A good lesson there.
