I venture to suggest that the date may refer notto the painting of the Glory of St. Ursula, but tothe beginning of the series whereof it formed thecentral One may then be asked toexplain how it is if Carpaccio inscribed the date in1510 he did not sign, as he invariably did from 1502on, Carpathius, but, as in all the other St. Ursulacanvases, Carpatio. I can only suggest that the artist did so deliber-ately for uniformity. October 1915. 1 I do not forget that the Arrival at Cologne is dated 1490,but I adopt Dr. Ludwigs conclusion that it was not painted forthe series but anticipated it. uu< < u o P4w c I—I o. uu < u pio b
