A retold version of the text Li Ming wrote Yang Yan a letter. In the letter, he told her about his trip with his aunt and grandmother. They first visited the city of Malaga, the birthplace of Pablo Picasso. Then they flew to Paris and visited the Louvre Museum which contains more than 6,000 other European paintings including the famous Lisa painting by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci was a talented painter and he even made a lot of scientific discoveries. They also saw the works of Claude Monet who was a French painter and loved to paint lotus. On their trip, they experienced a thunderstorm. Later, they went to the Van Gogh Museum who painted everything. The Potato Eaters is one of his most famous oil paintings. He also did 36 paintings of himself. Although we adore his work today, he was not successful while he was alive. They were going off to another museum there. The most famous paintings in it are by Rembrandt. They wanted to see a painting of his called The Night Watchman. He said he would tell her more about his trip after he got back.
