  Carpaccio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carpaccio refers to a dish made of thinly sliced raw beef or tuna, usually served as an appetizer.
Today the term Carpaccio is used variably and often refers to any very thinly sliced presentation of foods which can range as widely as apple, kangaroo, tomatoes, langoustine, and trout - and a great many more.
The classic Carpaccio is of beef - various joints may be used but typically the most tender and expensive cuts from the less used muscles are favoured.

 Vittore Carpaccio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Consideration of the youthful style of his earliest dated pictures ("St Ursula" series, Venice, 1490) makes it improbable that at that time he had reached so mature an age as thirty-five; and the date of his birth is more probably to be guessed from his being about twenty-five in 1490.
In later years Carpaccio appears to have been influenced by Cima da Conegliano (e.g.

 Presentation of Jesus in the Temple by CARPACCIO, Vittore
In preparing the altar-piece to decorate the third altar on the right in the Church of S. Giobbe, Venice, Vittore Carpaccio certainly kept in mind the magnificent panel painted by Giovanni Bellini for the same church little more than twenty years before.
Compared with Bellini's picture, the marble sections of Carpaccio's niche are even more monumental and the figures more nicely balanced in their perfectly judged movements, including those of the angels intent on playing their instruments, the crumhorn, the lute and the lyre.
Once again, Carpaccio offers an expression of his humanistic vision through which he measures the visible world on a limpid, reflecting grid of space, colour, light and shade.

The facts of his life are obscure, but his principal works were executed between 1490 and 1519; and he ranks as one of the finest precursors of the great Venetian masters.

 The Lion of St Mark by CARPACCIO, Vittore
The quality of Carpaccio's use of colour and his power of expression and invention decreased in his last religious paintings, for the most part executed by his assistants.
This image symbolizing the power on land and sea of the Venetian Republic is particularly significant if we consider that it was painted just after the Serenissima had run the risk of losing its independence when it was attacked by the League of Cambrai, the coalition of great powers formed in 1509.
Behind the symbol of St Mark, portrayed in splendid and triumphant isolation, Carpaccio has given us a view of some of the places where the fortunes of the Serenissima had prospered and grown for more than five centuries.
