he finest things of the kind in Italy, or in Europe.
Finally, in the gallery of pictures in the Palazzo Reale, among other
good works of various kinds, are two of the most interesting
Bonifazios in Venice, the "Children of Israel in their journeyings,"
in one of which, if I recollect right, the quails are coming in flight
across a sunset sky, forming one of the earliest instances I know of a
thoroughly natural and Turneresque effect being felt and rendered by
the old masters. The picture struck me chiefly from this circumstance;
but, the note-book in which I had described it and its companion
having been lost on my way home, I cannot now give a more special
account of them, except that they are long, full of crowded figures,
and peculiarly light in color and handling as compared with
Bonifazio's work in general.

LIO, CHURCH OF ST. Of no importance, but said to contain a spoiled
Titian.

LIO, SALIZZADA DI ST., windows in, II. 252, 257.

LOREDAN, PALAZZO, on the Grand Canal, near the Rialto, II. 123, 393.
Another palace of this name, on the Campo St. Stefano, is of no
importance.

LORENZO, CHURCH OF ST. Of no importance.

LUCA, CHURCH OF ST. Its campanile is of very interesting and quaint
early Gothic, and it is said to contain a Paul Veronese, "St Luke and
the Virgin." In the little Campiello St. Luca, close by, is a very
precious Gothic door, rich in brickwork, of the thirteenth century;
and in the foundations of the houses on the same side of the square,
but at the other end of it, are traceable some shafts and arches
closely resembling the work of the Cathedral of Murano, and evidently
having once belonged to some most interesting building.

LUCIA, CHURCH OF ST. Of no importance.

M

MADDALENA, CHURCH OF STA. MARIA. Of no importance.

MALIPIERO, PALAZZO, on the Campo St. M. Formosa, facing the canal at its
extremity. A very beautiful example of the Byzantine Renaissance. Note
the management of color in its inlaid balconies.

MANFRINI, PALAZZO. The architecture is of no interest; and as it is in
contemplation to allow the collection of pictures to be sold, I shall
take no note of them. But even if they should remain, there are few of
the churches in Venice where the traveller had not better spend his
time than in this gallery; as, with the exception of Titian's
"Entombment," one or two Giorgiones, and the
