Painting Description
"The Martyrdom of St. Ursula" is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, created in 1610 during the final days of his tumultuous life. This work is Caravaggio's last known painting, as he died in the same year under mysterious circumstances. The painting depicts the legendary moment of the Christian saint Ursula's death, who, according to medieval tradition, was killed by an arrow shot by the Hunnic king after she refused to marry him.
Caravaggio's interpretation of St. Ursula's martyrdom is a testament to his mastery of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey intense emotion and drama. The painting features a close-up of the figures, with St. Ursula recoiling in a moment of impact as the arrow pierces her chest. The use of light accentuates her innocence and the brutality of the act, while the dark background enhances the sense of immediacy and tragedy.
The artwork measures 173 cm by 133 cm and is currently housed in the Intesa Sanpaolo Collection at the Gallerie di Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano in Naples, Italy. "The Martyrdom of St. Ursula" is considered a significant piece in Caravaggio's oeuvre, encapsulating the raw emotional power and innovative techniques that characterize his late style. The painting's historical and artistic value is further heightened by its association with the end of Caravaggio's life, marking the culmination of his contributions to the Baroque movement and his enduring influence on Western art.
