Storie of Saint Ursula, Medieval fresco cycle in Complesso di Santa Caterina, Italy
The Stories of Saint Ursula consists of multiple frescoed panels arranged on three walls, depicting the life and martyrdom of Saint Ursula.
In 1882, Abbot Luigi Bailo rescued the frescoes from demolition by transferring 120 square meters of painted plaster onto wooden frames.
The cycle represents the narrative of Saint Ursula, a Christian princess who converted the pagan prince of England before facing martyrdom in Cologne.
The frescoes are now permanently displayed at the Civic Museum of Treviso, where visitors can examine the detailed medieval artistry.
One panel features an early example of written dialogue between Saint Ursula and her mother, resembling modern comic book text conventions.
