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 <a href="https://library.artstor.org/#/asset/SCALA_ARCHIVES_1039488911;prevRouteTS=1599341543425">The Dream of St. Ursula</a> Description An account of the resource The Dream of Ursula was created by Vittore Carpaccio in 1495 and is currently placed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy. This painting is the fifth canvas out of the nine large paintings in the series "Stories from the Life of St Ursula". Vittore Carpaccio was born in circa 1460 in Venice, Italy and is known as the greatest early Renaissance narrative painter of the Venetian school. The genre scene of the Dream of St. Ursula has been especially praised for its wealth of naturalistic detail [1]. According to the ninth‐century legend, St. Ursula left Britain, where her father was king, to avoid a dynastic marriage to a pagan [2].The context of this image is that Vittore Carpaccio reveals St. Ursula, sleeping in her bed on the left side of the bedroom, encountering a dream by an angel on the right side of the bedroom. Ursula’s eyes are closed and her head is leaning on her right hand, which is by her cheek. The angel, Gabriel, is wearing a blue and black outfit with a bow and arrow in his hands. Gabriel tells her about an imminent martyrdom. There is a heavenly glow behind the angel bringing intense light around the bed frame and into the room next door, but the light is not completely illuminating the room. The patron of this picture is indeed the angel informing St. Ursula of an imminent martyrdom. The room is decorated very well, with various plants on display as well as statues of Hercules and other figures [2]. The walls are green on the bottom and there is a connector that goes all across the walls, separating the lower green walls from the upper cream walls. My walls were like this when I was younger, so I’m happy to see that this design has come a long way. [1] “Vittore Carpaccio.” Encyclopædia Britannica.
