    		No, Josh, though it's not surprising that a "Reuben sandwich" might have come to mind. But the artist Peter Paul Rubens spelled his name differently.

    		And that's the guy, peasy! Famed for his beautiful, nine-painting series of "St. Ursula" (and her 11,000 virgins), 15th-century Venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio is also the namesake of the raw beef or tuna appetizer.
