"The Departure of the Pilgrims" is a detail from the larger work "The Meeting of Etherius and Ursula and the Departure of the Pilgrims," which is part of the St. Ursula Cycle painted by the Italian Renaissance artist Vittore Carpaccio in 1498. This cycle of paintings was commissioned for the Scuola di Sant'Orsola (School of Saint Ursula) in Venice and is dedicated to the legend of Saint Ursula, a Christian martyr from the 4th century.

The St. Ursula Cycle consists of a series of canvases that narrate the story of Ursula, the daughter of a Christian British king who, according to legend, undertook a pilgrimage to Rome before her marriage to a pagan prince. "The Departure of the Pilgrims" specifically captures the moment when Ursula and her companions set out on their journey, a pivotal scene in the hagiographic narrative that emphasizes themes of faith, pilgrimage, and divine destiny.

Carpaccio's work is renowned for its vivid detail, use of color, and incorporation of contemporary Venetian life and landscapes into the religious scenes. In "The Departure of the Pilgrims," the artist's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the characters' attire, the ships ready to sail, and the architectural elements that reflect the grandeur of Venice. The painting is a testament to Carpaccio's skill in blending the sacred with the secular and providing a glimpse into the life and culture of late 15th-century Venice.

Today, the St. Ursula Cycle is housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, where it continues to be admired for its historical and artistic significance. "The Departure of the Pilgrims" remains a key component of this cycle, offering insight into Carpaccio's narrative technique and his ability to convey complex stories through his art.
