Brief Biography-Vittore Carpaccio may have been born in Istria circa 1450-1455; however, he is regarded as a Venetian, as Venice is where he spent most of his life. He trained at the school of San Girolamo alongside Giovanni Bellini and was a follower of his older brother Gentile. The works of Antonello de Messina and Giovanni Bellini also influenced him.
Numerous paintings of his are still on view throughout Europe. His best-known works are The Legend of Saint Ursula series in the Academy of Venice and work in the Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, the Saint George’s School for Slavs and the Hospital for Seamen Venice. |
