Beschreibung
Viceregal School. Cuzco. Peru. 17th century.
“Saint Ursula and the eleven thousand virgins”.
Oil on canvas. Relined.
90 x 74 cm.
Among the main literary sources on the life and martyrdom of St. Ursula and the 11,000 virgins are the "Historia regum Britanniae" by Godfrey of Monmouth (ca. 1136), the "Liber revelationum de sacro exercitu virginum Coloniensum", written between 1156 and 1157 by the Benedictine nun Elisabeth of Schönau, inspired by the Passion of the saint written in the tenth century, and the story embellished by Blessed Hermann Joseph of Steinfeld. In addition to the aforementioned texts, there is the legend of the saint collected by Jacopo da Varazze in his "Golden Legend". The legend of Saint Ursula arose in 1106, following the discovery of a series of human bones in an ancient cemetery in Cologne, known as "ager Ursulanus" because of an inscription mentioning a "virgo Ursula", who died at the age of eighteen. Saint Ursula was the daughter of the monarchs of Brittany. News of her beauty reached the ears of the king of England, who sent emissaries to ask for the hand of the princess for his son Ethereus, or Conan, according to the testimony of Godfrey of Monmouth. Should she decline his request, England would declare war on Brittany. Ursula accepted the proposal, but in exchange her fiancé had to be baptized and go with her on a pilgrimage to Rome. For this she requested that ten noble maidens accompany her, and a thousand maidservants for each of them.
In Cologne, an angel announced to the saint that in Rome she would be martyred in the company of the virgins who accompanied her. In Basel, Pope Cyril knew that he would find martyrdom with St. Ursula. He then resigned the papacy and joined the retinue, an example followed by other prelates who decided to accompany the young women on their journey. Once in Rome, two army generals, Maximus and Africanus, concerned about the devotion aroused by the retinue led by St. Ursula, ordered them all killed. They warned the leader of the Huns that they would soon arrive in Cologne, on their way back to Brittany. Upon their arrival, all the members of the retinue were killed.
However, dazzled by her beauty, the king of the Huns fell in love with St. Ursula. He promised to spare her life if she would agree to marry him. When Saint Ursula refused his proposal, Julius shot an arrow through her heart. All the virgins were buried in the same place, which became known in the 12th century as "Ager Ursulanus". This became the main focus of the spread of the cult of St. Ursula and the 11,000 virgins throughout Europe. Moreover, the number of martyred virgins allowed for an unprecedented diffusion of relics. However, the excessively high number of martyred girls, as well as the lack of historical proof of the story and the impossibility of determining the date on which the slaughter would have taken place, caused the tide to turn against the survival of the cult of St. Ursula, which declined from the sixteenth century onwards. It should also be noted that, in the oldest preserved texts, it is not Saint Ursula, but Saint Pinosa who appears at the head of the retinue. As distinctive attributes, Saint Ursula usually carries an arrow, a crown and the palm of martyrdom. The iconographic cycles centered on the life of Saint Ursula date mainly from the 14th and 15th centuries, the two most important being that decorating the "Reliquary of Saint Ursula", by Hans Memling in 1489, preserved in the Hospital of Saint John, in Bruges, and the one made between 1490 and 1496 by Vittore Carpaccio for the Scuola di sant'Orsola, a confraternity founded in 1300, today in the Gallery of the Academy of Venice.
Saint Ursula is the patron saint of the district of Viraco, province of Castilla, department of Arequipa, in Peru; being known as “The saint of the hat”. In her honor, a series of activities are carried out, such as bullfighting, cockfighting, agricultural fairs, entrance mass, feast mass, farewell mass, procession through the main streets of the town and communal dances.
