Vittore Carpaccio (c.1460–1525/6) was a Venetian painter who studied under Gentile Bellini. He is best known for a cycle of nine paintings, The Legend of Saint Ursula.
The facts of his life are obscure, but his principal works were executed between 1490 and 1519; and he ranks as an early Venetian masters. The date of his birth is conjectural. He is first mentioned in 1472in a will of his uncle Fra Ilario, and Dr Ludwig infers from this that he was born c. 1455, on the ground that no one could enter into an inheritance under the age of fifteen; but the inference ignores the possibility of a testator making his will in prospect of the beneficiary attaining his legal age.
Consideration of the youthful style of his earliest dated pictures ("St Ursula" series, Venice, 1490) makes it improbable that at that time he had reached so mature an age as thirty-five; and the date of his birth is more probably to be guessed from his being about twenty-five in 1490.
