e painting of the
lion's wings, and of the colored carpet, in the one nearest the
throne, the Doge Alvise Mocenigo adoring the Redeemer.
The roof is entirely by Paul Veronese, and the traveller who really
loves painting, ought to get leave to come to this room whenever he
chooses; and should pass the sunny summer mornings there again and
again, wandering now and then into the Anti-Collegio and Sala dei
Pregadi, and coming back to rest under the wings of the couched lion
at the feet of the "Mocenigo." He will no otherwise enter so deeply
into the heart of Venice.
E
EMO, PALAZZO, on the Grand Canal. Of no interest.
ERIZZO, PALAZZO, near the Arsenal, II. 262.
ERIZZO, PALAZZO, on the Grand Canal, nearly opposite the Fondaco
de'Turchi. A Gothic palace, with a single range of windows founded on
the Ducal traceries, and bold capitals. It has been above referred to
in the notice of tracery bars.
EUFEMIA, CHURCH OF ST. A small and defaced, but very curious, early
Gothic church on the Giudecca. Not worth visiting, unless the
traveller is seriously interested in architecture.
EUROPA, ALBERGO, ALL'. Once a Giustiniani Palace. Good Gothic, circa
1400, but much altered.
EVANGELISTI, CASA DEGLI, II. 265.
[Illustration: Plate XII.
CAPITALS OF FONDACO DE' TURCHI.]
F
FACANON, PALAZZO (ALLA FAVA). A fair example of the fifteenth century
Gothic, founded on Ducal Palace.
FALIER, PALAZZO, at the Apostoli. Above, II. 253.
FANTINO, CHURCH OF ST. Said to contain a John Bellini, otherwise of no
importance.
FARSETTI, PALAZZO, on the Grand Canal, II. 124, 393.
FAVA, CHURCH OF ST. Of no importance.
FELICE, CHURCH OF ST. Said to contain a Tintoret, which, if untouched,
I should conjecture, from Lazari's statement of its subject, St.
Demetrius armed, with one of the Ghisi family in prayer, must be very
fine. Otherwise the church is of no importance.
FERRO, PALAZZO, on the Grand Canal. Fifteenth century Gothic, very
hard and bad.
FLANGINI, PALAZZO, on the Grand Canal. Of no importance.
FONDACO DE' TURCHI, I. 328; II. 120, 121, 236. The opposite plate,
representing three of its capitals, has been several times referred
to.
FONDACO DE' TEDESCHI. A huge and ugly building near the Rialto,
rendered, however, peculiarly interesting by remnants of the frescoes
by Giorgione with which it was on
