"The Meeting and Departure of the Suitors" is a notable detail from the larger work "The Meeting of Etherius and Ursula and the Departure of the Pilgrims," which is part of the celebrated St. Ursula Cycle painted by the Venetian Renaissance artist Vittore Carpaccio in 1498. This cycle of paintings was commissioned for the Scuola di Sant'Orsola in Venice and is dedicated to the legend of Saint Ursula, a Christian martyr from the 4th century. Carpaccio's cycle consists of a series of large canvases that narrate the story of Saint Ursula, blending historical elements with the rich imagination characteristic of the artist's narrative style.

"The Meeting and Departure of the Suitors" captures a pivotal moment in the hagiographic tale, where Saint Ursula, the daughter of a Christian British king, is visited by suitors seeking her hand in marriage. In this scene, Carpaccio masterfully depicts the encounter between Ursula and her future husband, Prince Etherius, as well as the subsequent departure of the pilgrims on their fateful voyage. The work is renowned for its intricate detail, vibrant color palette, and the depiction of contemporary Venetian life and fashion, which provides a glimpse into the society and culture of the time.

Carpaccio's attention to detail is evident in the elaborate costumes, the architectural elements, and the various characters populating the scene, each contributing to the narrative and the overall composition. The painting is a testament to Carpaccio's skill in storytelling through visual means and his ability to infuse his works with both spiritual significance and a sense of the everyday.

Today, "The Meeting and Departure of the Suitors" is considered an important example of Venetian Renaissance art and is highly valued for its historical and artistic significance. The St. Ursula Cycle, including this detail, is housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, where it continues to be studied and admired by art historians and the public alike.
