Biography:
Vittore Carpaccio was born in Venice to a family of fishermen and boat builders. He studied under Gentile Bellini and was the assistant to Bellini’s brother, Giovanni. Carpaccio favored large narrative scenes and panoramas, and also painted the occasional religious panels. Under consistent patronage, Carpaccio painted until his death in his distinctive style, despite the trendy influences of younger painters such as Titian.
