"Dream of St. Ursula" is an oil painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Vittore Carpaccio, created in 1495. The work is part of a series of nine canvases depicting the legend of Saint Ursula, a Christian saint whose story is a blend of history and myth. This series was commissioned for the Scuola di Sant'Orsola (Confraternity of St. Ursula) in Venice, which was dedicated to the veneration of the saint. The "Dream of St. Ursula" is particularly notable for its representation of the saint's divine vision, which is central to her legend.

The painting measures 274 cm by 267 cm and is housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, a museum with one of the most significant collections of Venetian Renaissance art. In the "Dream of St. Ursula," Carpaccio depicts the young saint asleep in her bed, with an angelic figure appearing to her in a dream. The angel is believed to be delivering the message of her forthcoming martyrdom, a pivotal moment in the narrative of St. Ursula's life.

Carpaccio's work is renowned for its meticulous attention to detail and its vibrant color palette. The artist's use of perspective and his ability to create a sense of depth make the "Dream of St. Ursula" a masterpiece of narrative painting. The domestic interior in which the scene is set is rendered with great care, filled with objects that reflect the wealth and status of the saint's family, as well as the cultural context of the time.

The "Dream of St. Ursula" is admired for its blend of the sacred and the secular, as Carpaccio incorporates elements of contemporary Venetian life into the religious scene. This approach allows viewers to connect with the spiritual narrative through familiar, everyday details. The painting is a significant example of Carpaccio's artistry and an important work within the broader context of the Venetian Renaissance. It continues to be studied for its iconography, its cultural significance, and its influence on the development of narrative painting in the Renaissance period.
