The martyrdom of Saint Ursula (Caravaggio)


The martyrdom of St. Ursula, Caravaggio's last painting. Again, Caravaggio's style evolved. In the picture the saint goes through one of the moments of greatest intensity, action and drama in her martyrdom, when the arrow shot by the king of the Huns, wound her in her breasts. All this especially differentiates the picture from others, characterized by the immobility of their models. The vividez of the painting opened a new stage in the race of the painter, that could no longer develop due to his unexpected death. Bibliography used Online
