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.

Title A name given to the resource Triumph of Saint George (Saint George Kills the Dragon at Selene) Subject The topic of the resource Triumph of Saint George by Vittore Carpaccio depicts the legendary tale of Saint George and the Dragon. A dragon was terrorizing the city Selene and it was taking children as sacrifices. One day the King's daughter was chosen and had to be given to the dragon. St. George was traveling by and ended up piercing the dragon in the head with a spear. He then took the dragon back to the town and beheaded the dragon in front of many inhabitants of Selene.[1] Description An account of the resource The painting Triumph of Saint George by Vittore Carpaccio is the fifth of seven paintings in a collection known as Episodes from the Life of Sts Jerome, George and Triphun that depict three stories of Christian saints. This specific painting depicts a scene right before St.George beheads the dragon, his sword is raised in the air ready to come down on the beast's neck. City-folk surround the two main characters: some on horses, some on foot, some playing instruments, and all watching in gratitude. The warm vibrant colors and faces of the people radiate the joy of the image. The dragon lies in the focal point of the painting with St.George at his side. The dragon seems much smaller in this painting than in Carpaccio's depiction of the slaying.[2] He is being dragged by his tongue and is pierced in the head by St.George's lance, awaiting his demise. The city lies in the background as a backdrop for the main event. One thing to note in the painting is the absence of children in the painting since they were used as sacrifices.
