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.

Carpaccio, most likely a student of Gentile Bellini, formed his own unique style of story telling through narrative paintings. This particular piece portrays both the martyrdom and funeral of St. Ursula. Notably, on the left half of the painting St. Ursula kneels as she faces her executioner, the chief of the Huns who asked for her hand in marriage and she rejected, with the mass of virgins behind her. He is pointing an arrow at her as she kneels with her hands together in prayer. The painting is balanced with a more solemn composition to the right, opposing the violent scene to the left. Her funeral parade marches out of town in a dignified manner. The two scenes create a complex, but balanced whole. The Venetian background keeps the painting flowing as one.
