"Departure of the Pilgrims (detail 1)" is a segment of a larger narrative painting created by the renowned Venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio in 1495. Carpaccio, a prominent figure in the Venetian Renaissance, is celebrated for his detailed and vivid storytelling through art. This particular work is part of a series of paintings that depict the life and legends of Saint Ursula, a Christian saint and martyr.

The series, known as the "Legend of Saint Ursula," was commissioned by the Scuola di Sant'Orsola in Venice, a confraternity dedicated to the saint. Carpaccio's cycle consists of nine large canvases, each illustrating a different episode from the saint's life, based on the medieval legend that recounts her pilgrimage and subsequent martyrdom.

"Departure of the Pilgrims" captures a pivotal moment in the narrative where Saint Ursula and her companions embark on their journey. The detail in question, often referred to as "detail 1," showcases Carpaccio's meticulous attention to architectural elements, human figures, and the interplay of light and shadow. The scene is set against a backdrop of a bustling port, with ships ready to set sail, symbolizing the beginning of the pilgrims' voyage.

Carpaccio's use of perspective and his ability to convey a sense of movement and anticipation are evident in this detail. The figures are depicted with a high degree of realism, each character's attire and expressions contributing to the overall narrative. The artist's skill in rendering textures, from the stone buildings to the flowing garments, adds depth and richness to the scene.

The "Legend of Saint Ursula" series, including "Departure of the Pilgrims," is housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, where it continues to be admired for its historical significance and artistic mastery. Carpaccio's work not only reflects the religious fervor of the time but also provides a window into the daily life and architectural splendor of 15th-century Venice.
