The four Evangelists

Hello everyone! My name is Isabella, and I'm so excited to explore this amazing painting with you all today! It's called "The Four Evangelists." Can you say that with me? "The Four Evangelists!" nn This painting is HUGE! It's even taller than your mommy or daddy! It shows us four very important people: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They were given a very special job - to write down the stories of Jesus! Have you ever heard of Jesus? He did lots of amazing things! nn Look closely at the painting. What are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John doing? That's right! They're writing! They're writing down all the wonderful things Jesus said and did, so that people like you and me could learn about them too! nn See that bright light shining down on them? And look at the angel up above! It looks like the angel is helping them write, don't you think? This painting reminds us that God is always with us, helping us to learn and grow. nn Now, let's take a closer look at the colors in the painting. Do you see lots of bright yellows, blues, and greens? Those colors make the painting look so lively and exciting! The artist used a special technique called chiaroscuro. That's a big word, isn't it? It means he used light and shadow to make the people in the painting really stand out. nn "The Four Evangelists" is a beautiful painting that reminds us about the importance of sharing stories and learning about Jesus.
