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
