Title A name given to the resource September 9: Scuole Painting Cycles Description An account of the resource Painted in 1495, Vittore Carpaccio's "Dream of Saint Ursula" is a part of his series depicting the tale of Saint Ursula, titled "Stories from the Life of Saint Ursula". "Dream of Saint Ursula" was Carpaccio's fifth painting out of a total of eight in the series, and continued his tendency to paint religious scenery. The legend of Saint Ursula from the north was very popular throughout the Middle Ages, and Carpaccio was commissioned by the Confraternity of Saint Ursula in Venice to tell her story. The legend describes Saint Ursula, a martyr who led 11,000 virgin maidens through travel, all of whom were brutally massacred by the Huns in Cologne. "The Dream of Saint Ursula" in particular depicts Saint Ursula in her bed, and is meant to show her dreaming of the angel who informs Saint Ursula of her impending death and martyrship. Carpaccio is widely praised for his close attention to detail, which he demonstrates magnificently in this painting, showing the room with beautiful ceilings, plants on the windows, a dog laying next to the bed, and the shadowy figures around the room that cast a mysterious and dreamy vibe throughout the painting.

Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource 141 X 121 cm Type The nature or genre of the resource Painting Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Scuola di S. Giorgio degli Schiavoni (Venice, Italy) Description An account of the resource The context of this image is that Vittore Carpaccio reveals Saint Jerome next to a lion while others around him are scared and running away from him. The image is the second of seven total paintings that depict Saint Jerome and is part of the collection listed below. In the previous image, Saint Jerome encounters the lion and sees that there is a thorn in him. He helps take care of him, and as a result the lion understands he is a good man. Now, in the second image, Vittore Carpaccio has many specific details about where they are and emphasizes on the reactions of others when they see the lion. The painting shows a lot of chaos around St. Jerome, while he still is calm and collected next to the lion. At the sight of the creature, the people run away in desparation and into hiding due to their fears. St. Jerome tries to show them he is a friendly lion, yet it seems like no one is willing to listen. The incorporation of darker colors around Jerome and lighter around other people and buildings also make him stand out even further.<br /><br />It is a significant painting for it shows a good side of St. Jerome, and his kindness when related to the lion. While everyone around him runs away, he knows the creature means good and now trusts him. This makes St. Jerome look very unique and different from the others, and in addition makes him stand out the most in the portrait. Carpaccio was know for being one of the earliest artistis to depict Venice, and these series of paintings of St. Jerome do exactly that. They are essential for depicting the city during the early 1500s and displaying how the architecture was structured and more specifically how the San Giorgio degli Schiavoni looked. <br /><br />Collection of a few of St. Jerome paintings: <a href="https://library.artstor.org/#/search/saint%20jerome%20carpaccio;page=1;size=48">St. Jerome and the Lion</a>
