Vittore Carpaccio (1460-66 –1525/26)m

was an Italian painter of the Venetian school, who studied under Gentile Bellini. He is best known for a cycle of nine paintings, The Legend of Saint Ursula. He was a pupil (not, as sometimes thought, the master) of Lazzaro Bastiani, who, like the Bellini and Vivarini, was the head of a large atelier in Venice. Carpaccio's late works were mostly done in the Venetian mainland territories, and in collaboration with his sons Benedetto and Piero. One of his pupils was Marco Marziale. Carpaccio completed three notable altarpieces for Venetian churches—St. Thomas Aquinas Enthroned (1507), Presentation in the Temple (1510), and Martyrdom of the Ten Thousand (1515). His last dated works are two organ shutters for the Duomo at Capodistria (1523). The displayed painting is a crop from The Virgin Reading, c. (1505)
