Charity and Justice

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to look at a beautiful painting called Charity and Justice. It was painted a long, long time ago, between 1730 and 1740, by a talented artist named Rosalba Carriera. nn Can you say "Rosalba Carriera"? That's a tricky name! nn This painting shows two women hugging. See how one woman has her arm around the other? They look so kind and caring, don't they? nn What do you think they are thinking about? nn The artist used special colors called pastels to make this painting. Pastels are like colorful chalk, and they make the painting look soft and smooth. nn Can you see how soft their clothes look? nn Rosalba Carriera was really good at using pastels to show feelings in her paintings. She wanted people to see how much the women in the painting care about each other. nn What do you like best about this painting?
