"Embarkation of St. Ursula" is a 1641 oil painting by the French artist Claude Lorrain (also known as Claude Gellée), who was a seminal figure in the development of the landscape painting genre during the Baroque period. The painting is part of a series that depicts the legend of Saint Ursula, a Christian saint whose story is filled with themes of pilgrimage and martyrdom. Claude Lorrain is renowned for his masterful use of light and the harmonious composition of his landscapes, which often serve as settings for historical or mythological narratives.

In "Embarkation of St. Ursula," Lorrain presents the moment when Saint Ursula is about to embark on a voyage, as per the divine command she received to undertake a pan-European pilgrimage before her marriage. The work is characterized by its serene atmosphere and the delicate interplay of natural light, which is a hallmark of Lorrain's style. The landscape is imbued with a sense of idealized beauty, typical of the classical landscapes that became popular during the 17th century.

The painting's composition is carefully constructed, with the figures of Ursula and her companions balanced by the classical architecture and the natural elements of the harbor scene. The calm sea and the soft, golden light of dawn contribute to the tranquil and contemplative mood of the piece. Lorrain's skill in rendering the effects of light and atmosphere is evident, as is his ability to create depth through the use of aerial perspective.

"Embarkation of St. Ursula" is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the context of Claude Lorrain's oeuvre. It exemplifies the artist's contribution to landscape painting and his influence on later generations of artists. The painting is part of the collection at the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and historical significance.
