 About Carpaccio | Abbeville Press
Carpaccio is best known for his brilliant cycles of large paintings which are still in their original sites in Venice: the life of Saint Ursula in the Scuola di Sant'Orsola, and the stories of Saint Jerome and Saint George in the Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni.
In his time Carpaccio was considered the most skilled and independent of the artists of the generation following Bellini, and he, in turn, influenced such younger painters as Titian and Sebastiano del Piombo.
This definitive monograph is presented in three parts: an opening essay describes the painter in relation to history and art history, emphasizing Carpaccio's innovations while also noting similarities with such contemporary masters as Bellini and Giorgione.

While evidently owing much in both these fields to his older contemporaries, Gentile and Giovanni Bellini, Carpaccio quickly evolved a readily recognizable style of his own which is marked by a taste for decorative splendour and picturesque anecdote.
His altarpieces and smaller devotional works are generally less successful, particularly after about 1510, when he seems to have suffered a crisis of confidence in the face of the radical innovations of younger artists such as Giorgione and Titian.
