apostle Peter

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to be detectives and solve the mystery of this painting called Apostle Peter. nn Are you ready for an adventure? nn This painting is really, really old! It was made between 1773 and 1776 by a mystery artist. Can you believe that? We don't even know who painted it! nn Look at the painting. Who do you think the important person in the painting is? nn That's right! It's Saint Peter. He was a very important person a long, long time ago. He helped start a special group called the Church. nn See his fancy chair? It's called a throne, and it means he was a leader. nn What else do you see in the painting? nn That's right! He's holding a book. It's probably a very special book called the Bible. And look closely! What's on top of the book? nn Yes! Those are keys! They're a symbol that Saint Peter is the "keeper of the keys to heaven." nn Now, look at the colors in the painting. What do you see? nn The artist used bright colors for Saint Peter's clothes, right? The bright colors make him stand out, so we know he's important. nn This painting is like a window into the past. It tells us a story about Saint Peter and what people believed a long time ago. nn Isn't it amazing that we can still see this painting today, even though it's so old? nn Let's go see what other mysteries we can uncover in the museum!
