"Legend of St. Ursula: The Dream of St. Ursula" (Italian: "Storie di sant'Orsola: Sogno di sant'Orsola") is a celebrated painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Vittore Carpaccio. Created in 1495, this masterpiece is part of a series of works commissioned for the Scuola di Sant'Orsola in Venice, Italy. The series narrates the story of Saint Ursula, a British Christian princess renowned for her piety and her martyrdom, accompanied by 11,000 virgins, at the hands of the Huns in the 4th or 5th century.

This particular painting, "The Dream of St. Ursula," depicts a serene moment in the legend, where the saint is visited by an angel in her sleep, foretelling her martyrdom. Carpaccio's mastery in color and detail is evident in the intricate depiction of St. Ursula's chamber, which is filled with objects that symbolize her sanctity and purity, as well as her royal status. The use of light and shadow, along with the artist's attention to the textures of fabrics and materials, brings a vivid realism to the scene.

Measuring 274 cm by 267 cm, the painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allows for the rich, luminous colors that are characteristic of Carpaccio's work. The composition skillfully balances the spiritual and the earthly, inviting viewers to contemplate the divine message within the context of everyday life.

"The Dream of St. Ursula" is not only a testament to Carpaccio's technical skill and his ability to convey narrative through visual means but also reflects the cultural and religious values of Venice at the turn of the 16th century. Today, the painting is housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, where it continues to be admired for its beauty and its historical significance as part of the broader Legend of St. Ursula cycle by Carpaccio. This work remains a pivotal example of Venetian Renaissance art, illustrating the blend of spirituality, history, and artistic innovation that characterized the period.
