The work utilizes our natural viewing patterns to tell a story.  While only two distinct scenes are overtly depicted, the piece implies both past and future events in the story.  Continuity is established within the story in time through the use of identical clothing, but also in space.  Entry points for the viewer and carefully placed figures that look on within the image tie it to the space around it.  This is similar to the way feet standing outside of the scene were used in other works we have seen.  Viewers feel they are part of the same environment as the events depicted.  Another interesting aspect of the piece is its combination of secular and religious iconography and meaning.  Its purpose within the confraternity is reflected in the formal and processionary way figures are presented.  This reflection of real people&#8217;s societal roles is reminiscent of Raphael&#8217;s <em>Entombment<\/em>, which transmitted the grief of the patron.  Attention to the events, people, and interactions that lead to the creation of works of art adds a   deeper and more significant layer to our understanding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The use of narrative in scenes was introduced through Vittore Carpaccio\u2019s\u00a0Scenes from the Life of St. Ursula in this class.
