In class we views Vittore Carpaccio’s Scenes from the Life of St. Ursula. This painting utilizes our typical viewing path of left to right to show a passing of time. In the painting itself, we knew the girl was Ursula as there were multiple Christian relics to indicate this. We then viewed St. Ursula’s reliquary which gave the greater story of her life, including her ultimate demise when her 11,000 female colleagues and herself were massacred by the Huns. We also viewed The Miracle of the profaned host, which was many panels that displayed a story of a scene that shows many symbols of Jews, scorpion, and a Moors head. The story ends with the massacre of some Jews, another theme that is becoming more and more prevalent in the Christian altarpieces we view.
