Scenes from the life of St. Ursula by Carpaccio show the journey of St Ursula and her ultimate demise. However, the story stresses the divinity that St. Ursula embodied, as she convinced a paigan king to convert and led a caravan of 11,000 women on a religious journey. Carpaccio adds a level of intimacy for the viewer, as the members of the background in these scenes are engaged similar to the viewer. In the reading, the question of whether there is a true religious nature to a piece of art or if it is just a flex of wealth is brought up. For example, prayer books while seemingly religious are in fact a display of affluence. While objects may seem to embody a divine nature, patrons sometimes use the iconography to show the vast amount of money they have. In case I want to have a religious theme in my exhibition, I have to consider the context in which the art was created, as it may not always seem as simple as it first appears.
