Description:
|
Carpaccio's name is associated above all with the cycles of lively and festive narrative paintings that he executed for several of the Venetian scuole, or devotional confraternities. Carpaccio’s earliest dated work is the Arrival of St. Ursula at Cologne, the first of nine canvases executed for the Scuola di S Orsola and depicting the life of the confraternity’s patron saint. Other paintings in the cycle are dated 1491, 1493 and 1495. In the largest of the series, the Departure of St. Ursula (1495; Venice, Accad.), the scene on the right is typically one of pageantry and ceremony, with gaily dressed figures set against a townscape teeming with incident. In the scene on the left, set in pagan England, the backdrop is even more exotic. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/)
