"Breakfast" (1618) by Diego Velázquez is a depiction of a group of people enjoying a simple meal. The painting's realistic portrayal of everyday life makes it an example of Spanish Golden Age genre painting. Velázquez's masterful use of light and shadow, known as chiaroscuro, creates a sense of depth and realism. The artwork, currently housed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, exemplifies Velázquez's early style, characterized by meticulous detail and a focus on the ordinary.
