Vädersolstavlan
Vädersolstavlan is a painting that shows a special kind of sunlight called a "sun halo" that happened over Stockholm, Sweden a long time ago.
A sun halo is when the sun's light shines through tiny ice crystals in the air, making a pretty circle around the sun that looks like a rainbow. It's kind of like when you shine a flashlight through a piece of clear plastic and you see a colorful circle on the wall.
The painter of Vädersolstavlan, which means "Weather Sundial Painting" in Swedish, was so amazed by this sun halo that he decided to paint it. He painted the sun in the middle of the painting with a big halo around it and lots of people around looking up at it, because it was a very unusual and impressive sight.
Even though the painting is very old, people still go to see it today because it's a famous and important piece of Swedish art that helps us remember this cool weather phenomenon that happened long ago.
