Evening after a battle

1825 - Painting - 56cm x 48cm

My name is Isabella, and I will be your guide today through one of our most impressive paintings: "The Death of Ophelia." nn Have you ever seen a painting that looks so real, it's almost like looking through a window? "The Death of Ophelia" is like that! It's full of bright colors and energy, almost like a dream. nn Can you spot the girl in the water? Her name is Ophelia. She's surrounded by pretty flowers. Even though the flowers are beautiful, the story behind them is a little bit sad. Ophelia is in the water because she died, and the flowers are nature's way of saying goodbye. nn Now, look way in the back of the painting. Do you see the dark green colors? They're a little bit spooky, aren't they? The artist used those colors to help us understand how sad Ophelia's story is. nn This painting is very old, but it's still here for us to enjoy! Isn't that amazing? The artist who painted it, his name was Eugene Delacroix, and he loved to make paintings that were full of emotion, just like this one! nn What do you think about the painting?
