Réunion de quatorze personnages is a 1645 oil by Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo, a Early Baroque Italian work, depicting Man, held at Department of Paintings of the Louvre.
This painting depicts a group of men gathered together, all dressed in attire typical of the 17th century. They are wearing hats, cloaks, and boots, and some are holding swords or canes. The men are arranged in a loose circle, facing each other and engaged in conversation. The scene is set against a neutral background, which allows the viewer to focus on the figures and their interactions. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the textures and details of the men's clothing and accessories. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up the technique.
