ACCADEMIA GALLERY, Legend Of Saint Ursula - 2

Are you ready to follow this movie separated into nine scenes? Then let's start with the prologue, where the king of Brittany and father of Ursula welcomes the ambassadors carrying Ethereal's marriage proposal, the crown prince of England. Like the scenery on a stage, this scene is divided into three parts: a porch on the left, the throne room opening onto a peaceful view of a lagoon, and finally Ursula's bedroom on the right, where her father patiently listens while the princess tells him that she will consent to the marriage as long as her betrothed converts to Christianity. An elderly woman is sitting outside the room: perhaps she is the nurse who has brought Ursula up, now realizing that the princess has become a woman with an iron will.

Now go to the next picture: The Departure of the Ambassadors. The Republic of Venice was famous for the excellent organization of its foreign policy, and this spectacular image transports you into a Chancellor's office where the gestures and attitudes are based on precise diplomatic etiquette. With a perfect dosage of light, Carpaccio shows you every detail of the clothes and furnishings. The large brass chandelier hanging in the center of the room is unforgettable....
