Let Him Be Crucified

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to be detectives and solve the mystery of this painting called "Let Him Be Crucified." nn Have you ever seen a crowd of people? Maybe at a park or a parade? This painting shows a big crowd a long, long time ago. Look closely! Can you point out all the people in the painting? nn The painter, James Tissot, used lots of brown, tan, and white colors. These colors make the painting look very real, don't you think? But look even closer! Do you see any other colors hiding in the painting? nn Way, way in the back of the painting, we can see some soldiers standing high up on a building. Can you find them? It looks like they're holding a flag. Even though we can't see everything happening, the painter wants us to use our imaginations. What do you think is happening in the painting? nn This painting tells a very important story, and even though it happened a long time ago, it still reminds us how powerful art can be. Now, let's go see what other mysteries we can solve in the museum!
