In the life of Vittore Carpaccio
The whole lifec. 1501 – 1507
Paints with Giovanni Bellini in the Doge's Palace
Together with Giovanni Bellini, Carpaccio worked in the Hall of the Great Council in the Doge's Palace; like many other major works, the cycle was entirely lost in the fire of 1577.
1508
Assesses Giorgione's frescoes on the Fondaco dei Tedeschi
Carpaccio joined a committee set up to assess Giorgione's frescoes on the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, the trading post of the German merchants in Venice.
c. 1510
Contemporaries find his style old-fashioned
By now Carpaccio's manner was seen as too conservative, and success passed to the innovators of the younger generation — Titian, Giorgione and Lorenzo Lotto. After 1510 he worked mainly for individual Venetian patrons and provincial clients, sending altarpieces to cities across the country.
