This monument was dedicated with imposing ceremonies, and it is curious to note that not far away from it the sculptor Canova is buried, and his own monument is made from the design which he made for that of Titian. Some writers consider the "Entombment of Christ," in the Manfrini Palace, as the greatest work of Titian.
The very morning after the mysterious gondola had rested so long before the Manfrini Palace, Venetia rose for the first time since the flight from Rovigo, refreshed by her slumbers, and tranquil in her spirit. It was not in her power to recall her dreams; but they had left a vague and yet serene impression.
All was stirring life, yet all was silent; the fantastic architecture, the glowing sky, the flitting gondolas, and the brilliant crowd gliding about with noiseless step, this city without sound, it seemed a dream! The ambassador had engaged for Lady Annabel a palace on the Grand Canal, belonging to Count Manfrini.
This, the Giovanelli Giorgione, which in 1817 was in the Manfrini palace and was known as the "Famiglia di Giorgione," was the picture in all Venice indeed the picture in all the world which most delighted Byron. "To me," he wrote, "there are none like the Venetian above all, Giorgione." Beppo has some stanzas on it. Thus: Love in life;
'Row opposite to the Manfrini palace, said the stranger, 'and rest upon your oar. The blinds of the great window of the palace were withdrawn. Distinctly might be recognised a female figure bending over the recumbent form of a girl. An hour passed away and still the gondola was motionless, and still the silent stranger gazed on the inmates of the palace.
