Next up in our tour of Vittore Carpaccio is “Saint Augustine in His Study.” Carpaccio was a specialist in creating series of huge paintings designed to hang in sequence to tell the story of a saint or other Biblical story and “St. Augustine” is one of these.
We’ll find out how an unexpected visitor told the saint to get over himself, how Carpaccio created an immersive media experience in a Venetian meetinghouse, and how a dog beat out a weasel for a role in this scene.
