This painting shows a tragic scene from a story. The story is about two young lovers, Pyramus and Thisbe. They are from families that don't get along, so they have to meet in secret. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of another artist, but for now, check out the museum where this is kept, The Cleveland Museum of Art.
