"The Healing of the Madman" is a notable painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Vittore Carpaccio, created around 1496. This work is part of a series of nine paintings that depict the legend of Saint Ursula, a British princess who, according to medieval lore, undertook a pilgrimage across Europe with 11,000 virgins and ultimately met a martyr's death. Carpaccio's series was commissioned for the Scuola di Sant'Orsola (School of Saint Ursula) in Venice, which was a confraternity dedicated to the saint.

"The Healing of the Madman" stands out within the series as it diverges from the primary narrative of Saint Ursula to illustrate a miraculous event occurring in the bustling urban setting of the Rialto Bridge in Venice. The painting captures a moment when a madman, who had been causing a disturbance, is miraculously cured by the relic of the Holy Cross, which was being carried in a religious procession across the bridge. This incident is believed to have been included as a testament to the power of faith and the divine intervention present in everyday life.

Measuring 365 x 389 cm, the painting is executed in tempera on canvas, a medium typical of the Venetian school during this period. Carpaccio's attention to detail is evident in the architectural elements, the depiction of contemporary Venetian attire, and the diverse range of expressions and activities among the crowd. The work is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of 15th-century Venetian society and its intricate narrative quality.

"The Healing of the Madman" is currently housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic mastery. Carpaccio's work remains an important example of Venetian Renaissance art, offering insight into the cultural and religious life of the city during this period.
