About this work

This painting shows a group of 13 men sitting around a table. The man at the center holds a round object, and everyone looks at him. They’re all dressed in simple robes—some red, some blue or green—with serious faces. The background is dark blue with a chandelier hanging above. The bright colors and flat shapes make the scene feel flat, almost like a storybook. The men’s hands are raised in different ways, as if reacting to something important. If you like this style, look up Impressionism next.
