The artist Vittore Carpaccio was born and grew up in Venice. Little is known about his youth, nor about his education. It is assumed that he was a pupil of Gentile Bellini, but it is also possible that his teacher was only from Bellini's circle. His early works also suggest that he was influenced by older Venetian artists such as Avise Vivarini or Antonello da Messina. He grew up under the Venetian form of his name "Scarpazza". Few of his works were still signed with this name. When he entered the humanist circles in Venice, he changed his name to the one by which he is known today. His family was widely spread and long established in Venice. The subject of his works were often stories of saints or scenes from the daily life of the Venetians. He is especially famous for the nine-part cycle "Legend of Saint Ursula", which was created in his early years. Even though he is today regarded as an important painter of the early Renaissance, his work hardly found recognition outside Venice. Capriccio's paintings offer some surprises, especially for those who take a closer look at them: In his painting "Death of St. Jerome" there is a picture of a pair of glasses that were still very unknown in his time. Through his paintings, the viewer can gain an insight into the life of the Venetians. Carpaccio shows beside the daily life also the customs and festivities of that time in a detailed way. Again and again he integrates the Turkish wars into his works, sometimes he also deals with them directly, for example in his relief at the Scuola degli Albanesi, in which he depicts the two sieges of Shkodra. These and other details of his art suggest that he was informed, well-read and educated about current developments.
His characteristic colour palette, which focuses mainly on shades of red, loses intensity and clarity towards the end of his life. This is mainly attributed to the growing workload of his workshop assistants. In his late work he also worked frequently with his sons Benedetto and Piero. His late work also includes works outside of Venice, he worked for churches in Dalmatia and Istria. He spent the last years of his life in the Venetian town of Capodistria, where he also died.
