This time it is S.Jerome's dog from the picture at S.Giorgio degli Schiavoni.

An English translation of the Santa Croce story might well be placed in this room.
Before leaving this room one should look again at the haunting portrait of S.Lorenzo Giustiniani, No.

570, by Gentile Bellini, which has faded and stained so graciously into a quiet and beautiful decoration.
It is the S.Ursula pictures in Room XVI for which, after Titian's "Assumption," most visitors to Venice esteem the Accademia; but to my mind the charm of Carpaccio is not displayed here so fully as in his decorations at S.Giorgio.The Ursula pictures are, however, of deep interest and are unforgettable.
But first for the story.

As _The Golden Legend_ tells it, it runs thus.
Ursula was the daughter of a Christian king in Britain named Notus or Maurus, and the fame of her beauty and wisdom spread afar, so that the King of England, who was a heathen himself, heard of it and wished her for his son's wife.

His son, too, longed for the match, but the paganism of his family was against it.
