Virgin.” In the little Campiello St. Luca, close by, is a very precious Gothic door, rich in brickwork of the thirteenth century;¹ 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.

[“MADONETTA HOUSE,” X. 146, 454, XI. 277.]

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 colour 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.² 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 little John Bellini (St. Jerome), the pictures are all of a kind which may be seen elsewhere.

MANGILI, VARMARANA, PALAZZO, on the Grand Canal. Of no importance.

MANIN, PALAZZO, on the Grand Canal. Of no importance.

MANZONI, PALAZZO, on the Grand Canal, near the Church of the Carità [XI. 21]. A perfect and very rich example of Byzantine Renaissance; its warm yellow marbles are magnificent.

MARCILIAN, CURCH OF ST.³ Said to contain a Titian “Tobit and the Angel:” otherwise of no importance.

MARCO, SCUOLA, DI SAN, XI. 21. [See Frontispiece.]

[MARGHERITA, CAMPO SANTA, house in, XI. Examples, 11.]

MARIA, CHURCHES OF STA. See FORMOSA, MATER DOMINI, MIRACOLI, ORTO, SALUTE, and ZOBENIGO.

MARK, CHURCH OF ST., history of, X. 71; approach to, X. 80; general teaching of, X. 134, 141; measures of facade of, X. 152; balustrades of, X. 285,288; cornices of, IX. 365; horseshoe arches of, X. 291; entrances of, X. 315, XI. App. 10(2); shafts of, X. 448; base in bapistery of, IX. 343; mosaics in atrium of, X. 134; mosaics in cupola of, X. 135, XI. 205; lily capitals of, X. 164 [and XI. Examples, 7]; Plates illustrative of (Vol. X.), 6, 7 (figs. 9, 10, 11); 8 (figs. 8, 9, 12, 13, 15); 9, 10 (fig. 1), [also Plates C, D, E]; and Plate 4, Vol. XI.⁴ [and Examples, 3, 6, 7.]

¹ [See above, Examples, 13.]

² [The collection for the most part was dispersed in 1856. It was first offered for sale to the National Gallery (see Report of the Select Committee of 1853). The celebrated Giorgione, now in the Palazzo Giovanelli (p. 384 n.), was formerly in the Manfrini. The Titian’s “Entombment” is a repetition with some alterations of the picture in the Louvre.]

³ [Known in Venice as the “Marziale,” on the Rio della Misericordia. The Titian is over the first altar on the left.]
