Vittore Carpaccio
Vittore Carpaccio (ca. 1465 – 1525/1526), was a painter of the Republic of Venice. He was one of the protagonists of the production of canvases in Venice between the 15th and 16th centuries, becoming perhaps the best witness of the life and customs of the Serenissima of those years. Like other great Italian masters of his generation, after a period of great success, shortly after the beginning of the 16th century he experienced a crisis due to difficulties in assimilating the revolutionary and modern contributions of the new painters (Raphael, Giorgione and Titian). He lived his last years relegated to the provinces, where his late style still found admirers.
