Ekphrasis

Ekphrasis is when someone uses words to describe a picture or statue or any kind of artwork. It's like someone telling you a story about what they see in a painting, or explaining what a sculpture looks like and what it makes them feel. It's a way of using words to help people imagine what an artwork is like, even if they can't see it in person. It's kind of like listening to a really exciting story, except the story is about a picture or a statue instead of people and places.
