My name is Isabella, and I'll be your guide today! We're going to look at a super cool painting by Ivan Ayvazovsky. It's called Untitled, which means it doesn't have a name! Isn't that mysterious? It shows a beautiful scene by the sea at night. nn (Pause for questions and interaction) nn

This painting shows the ocean at night. See all the blues and grays? They're different shades, aren't they? Some are dark, some are light. The artist used these colors to show how the moonlight shines on the water. Can you see the moon? It's bright and makes the water sparkle! What do you think the water looks like? Is it calm or choppy? nn (Pause for questions and interaction) nn

Look closely! There are little boats on the water. One is a fishing boat, and another looks like a big sailing ship. Can you find them? And see that little village on the shore? It looks cozy, nestled right against the rocks. What do you think the people in the village are doing at night? nn (Pause for questions and interaction) nn

Ivan Ayvazovsky was a really talented artist. He was amazing at painting light and shadows. See how the moon makes some parts of the painting bright, and other parts are darker? That's how he makes the painting look three-dimensional, like it's really there! This style of painting is called a Romantic seascape. It shows how beautiful and powerful nature can be. nn (Pause for questions and interaction) nn

This painting is special because it's in the "Rescued Art Values" Museum. That means it's a very important painting that was saved and is now here for us to see. It reminds us that art is important and needs to be protected. It also shows us how beautiful the world is, and how artists can capture that beauty in their paintings. What's your favorite part of the painting? nn (Pause for questions and interaction) nn
