"The Baptism of the Selenites" is a renowned painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Vittore Carpaccio, believed to have been completed around 1507. This work is part of a series of canvases depicting the life of Saint Ursula and is housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy. The painting illustrates a legendary event from the life of Saint Ursula, in which she converts and baptizes the inhabitants of the mythical land of the Selenites.

Carpaccio's depiction is characterized by his meticulous attention to detail and his use of vibrant colors, which were typical of the Venetian school of painting during the Renaissance. The composition is rich with narrative elements, showcasing the artist's skill in storytelling through visual means. The scene is set in an idyllic landscape, where the Selenites, depicted in exotic attire, are gathered around Saint Ursula and her companions. The central act of baptism is highlighted by the use of light and the positioning of the figures, drawing the viewer's attention to the spiritual significance of the event.

The painting is notable for its blend of religious subject matter with the exploration of fantastical themes, reflecting the period's interest in travel and discovery, as well as the blending of fact and fiction in hagiographies. "The Baptism of the Selenites" not only exemplifies Carpaccio's artistic prowess but also provides insight into the cultural and religious context of the time, making it an important work for both art historians and those interested in the history of religious narratives.
