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 little John Bellini (St.
Jerome), the pictures are all of a kind which may be seen elsewhere.
MANGILI VALMARANA, 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. A
perfect and very rich example of Byzantine Renaissance: its warm
yellow marbles are magnificent.
MARCILIAN, CHURCH OF ST. Said to contain a Titian, "Tobit and the
Angel:" otherwise of no importance.
