EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a mesmerizing moment from Vittore Carpaccio's "Cycle of the life of Saint Ursula". In this second table, titled "Goodbye (or departure) of ambassadors" we witness a scene filled with anticipation and international relations. The painting depicts King Maurus as he reports to the messengers the conditions set forth by Princess Ursula. The princess demands that before any marriage can take place, a pilgrimage to Rome must be completed. This extract from Jacques de Voragine's legende doree adds depth and meaning to the artwork. Vittore Carpaccio masterfully brings this narrative to life through his use of oil on panel technique in 1498. The vibrant colors and intricate details showcase his skill as an artist during the Renaissance period. As we gaze at this remarkable piece, our eyes are drawn to the figures in various states of prostration before their king. Their expressions convey both excitement and trepidation as they prepare for their journey towards Rome. This image not only highlights historical events but also speaks volumes about human emotions and aspirations. It serves as a testament to Carpaccio's ability to capture significant moments in time while evoking deep emotional responses from viewers. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this iconic artwork through her lens, allowing us all to appreciate its beauty and significance once again.
