The Apotheosis of St Ursula measures 481 centimeters in height and 335 centimeters in width, featuring tempera and canvas techniques in its construction.
Vittore Carpaccio completed this altarpiece in 1491 as part of a series depicting the life of Saint Ursula, commissioned by the Loredan family.
The painting represents Saint Ursula's ascension surrounded by angels, combining religious narrative with architectural elements typical of Venetian Renaissance art.
