hat of Titian than of Tintoret. The sky
appears full of light, though it is as dark as the flesh of the faces;
and the forms of its floating clouds, as well as of the hills over
which they rise, are drawn with a deep remembrance of reality. There
are hundreds of pictures of Tintoret's more amazing than this, but I
hardly know one that I more love.

The reader ought especially to study the sculpture round the altar of
the Capella del Rosario, as an example of the abuse of the sculptor's
art; every accessory being labored out with as much ingenuity and
intense effort to turn sculpture into painting, the grass, trees, and
landscape being as far realized as possible, and in alto-relievo.
These bas-reliefs are by various artists, and therefore exhibit the
folly of the age, not the error of an individual.

The following alphabetical list of the tombs in this church which are
alluded to as described in the text, with references to the pages
where they are mentioned, will save some trouble:

Cavalli, Jacopo, III. 82. | Mocenigo, Pietro, III. 89.
Cornaro, Marco, III. 11. | Mocenigo, Tomaso, I. 8, 26, III. 84.
Dolfin, Giovanni, III. 78. | Morosini, Michele, III. 80.
Giustiniani, Marco, I. 315. | Steno, Michele, III. 83.
Mocenigo, Giovanni, III. 89. | Vendramin, Andrea, I. 27, III. 88.

GIOVANNI GRISOSTOMO, CHURCH OF ST. One of the most important in
Venice. It is early Renaissance, containing some good sculpture, but
chiefly notable as containing a noble Sebastian del Piombo, and a John
Bellini, which a few years hence, unless it be "restored," will be
esteemed one of the most precious pictures in Italy, and among the
most perfect in the world. John Bellini is the only artist who appears
to me to have united, in equal and magnificent measures, justness of
drawing, nobleness of coloring, and perfect manliness of treatment,
with the purest religious feeling. He did, as far as it is possible to
do it, instinctively and unaffectedly, what the Caracci only pretended
to do. Titian colors better, but has not his piety. Leonardo draws
better, but has not his color. Angelico is more heavenly, but has not
his manliness, far less his powers of art.

GIOVANNI ELEMOSINARIO, CHURCH OF ST. Said to contain a Titian and a
Bonifazio. Of no other interest.
