Battle of Varna.

Hi everyone, I'm Isabella, and I'm so excited to explore this amazing painting with you all today! It's called "Battle of Varna," and it was painted by a very talented artist named Jan Matejko a long, long time ago, back in 1879. nn Can you all say "Jan Matejko"? Great job! nn Now, look at this painting. What do you see? nn That's right! It's a battle! A very important battle that happened a really, really long time ago. nn This painting is like a window into the past. It shows us what a big battle looked like back then, with all the soldiers fighting bravely. nn --- nn Wow, you guys are great observers! nn See how the painting is mostly dark colors, like browns, grays, and blacks? That's because battles can be scary and serious. But look closely – do you see how the artist used brighter colors on some of the soldiers? nn That's a clever way for the artist to help us focus on the most important parts of the battle! nn --- nn Now, let's talk about the story behind this painting. nn The "Battle of Varna" was a very important event in history. It was a battle between two groups of people who had different beliefs. nn The artist, Jan Matejko, wanted to show how important this battle was and how brave the soldiers were. He wanted people to remember this event and learn from it. nn --- nn Isn't it amazing how artists can tell stories using only colors and shapes? nn This painting is more than just a picture; it's like a history book come to life! nn Thank you for joining me today, everyone! I hope you had fun learning about this incredible artwork. Now, who's ready to explore more of the museum?
