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.

Saint Ursula's Dream Description An account of the resource The Dream of St. Ursula is a single painting in Vittore Carpaccio’s series called the St. Ursula Cycle. Carpaccio was a Venetian native who most likely learned under Gentile Bellini who heavily influenced the way he created works for various scuole, which were charitable organizations that were dedicated to particular saints. He is best known for his narrative cycles that lined the meeting halls of the scuole. This entire collection, particularly, was commissioned and funded by the Scuola piccolo and chronicles the life of St. Ursula from her engagement to her martyrdom. In this particular image, Carpaccio depicts St. Ursula laying in her bed dreaming of her martyrdom as an angel visits her through the door. A few features to note are the fact that she is by herself in the scene, except for the angel, and there are numerous tight walls, shutters, and windows with no view outside. These features coalesce to make the room seem cloistered and closed off from the world. This pictorial staging echoes Carpaccio’s style of situating male activity in a public space and female activity in a private space. It is also reflective of the societal norm that respectable women confine and govern the home. The gender differences noted in this work are indicative of the gender differences that govern the urban landscape of Venice.
