Carpaccio
Carpaccio "Funeral of St Ursula" (1493) Galleria dell'Academia, Venise
"It is now longer a matter of indifference to me that, beside me in that cool penumbra, there should have been a woman draped in her mourning with the respectful and enthusiastic fervour of the old woman in Carpaccio's St Ursula in the Accademia, and that woman . . . should be my mother'." — Within a Budding Grove
