Vittore Carpaccio was an Italian Renaissance painter, born around 1465 in Italy and died around 1526. He is known for his works depicting historical and religious scenes, as well as for his portraits and landscapes. Carpaccio was one of the most prominent painters of the Venetian School and is famous for his ability to create detailed and vivid atmospheres in his works. His style was realistic and meticulous, with great attention to architectural details and the representation of light. Carpaccio is especially known for his series of paintings titled "The Legends of Saint Ursula," which depict the life and martyrdom of the saint. Although Carpaccio is best known for his artistic work, he is also famous for giving his name to the culinary dish "Carpaccio," which is a preparation of thinly sliced raw meat inspired by the colors of his paintings.
