Painting of the Tarnovo Artistic School

Have you ever seen a painting before? It's like a picture that someone has made with paint on a canvas. Well, the Tarnovo Artistic School is a group of painters from a long time ago, who are known for making really beautiful paintings.

The painters from the Tarnovo Artistic School were from a place called Turnovo in Bulgaria, and they lived a very long time ago – hundreds of years ago! They liked to use bright and vibrant colors in their paintings, like red, blue, and gold.

The paintings that they made were often of very important people, like kings and queens, and they liked to add lots of details to make the paintings look very fancy. Some of the things that they added to the paintings were things like flowers, birds, and even gold leaf – which is a special material that's very shiny and makes the painting look even more beautiful.

The Tarnovo Artistic School became very famous because of their beautiful paintings, and even today, people still admire their work and try to learn from them. So, even though they lived a very long time ago, their paintings are still very special and important to many people today.
