"Had I known it was a lady of the Tiepolo, I should have been even more ready; for there are few of that great name now left to do us honor." Violetta curtsied to the compliment, but she seemed uneasy that haste and pride of rank had led her so indiscreetly to betray herself.
Others are Carlo Zeno, the soldier; Goldoni, the dramatist; Paolo Sarpi, the monkish diplomatist; Galileo Galilei, the astronomer and mathematician; the two Cabots, the explorers, and Marco Polo, their predecessor; Niccolò Tommaseo, the patriot and associate of Daniele Manin, looking very like a blend of Walt Whitman and Tennyson; Dante; a small selection of Doges, of whom the great Andrea Dandolo is the most striking; Tintoretto, Giovanni Bellini, Titian, and Paul Veronese; Tiepolo, a big-faced man in a wig whom the inscription credits with having "renewed the glory" of the two last named; Canova, the sculptor; Daniele Manin, rather like John Bright; Lazzaro Mocenigo, commander in chief of the Venetian forces, rather like Buffalo Bill; and flanking the entrance to the palace Vittorio Pisani and Carlo Zeno, the two patriots and warriors who together saved the Republic in the Chioggian war with the Genoese in the fourteenth century.
The Scalzi The Labia Palace The missing cicerone Tiepolo and Cleopatra S. Marcuola and Titian A maker of oars The death of Wagner Frescoes on palaces The Ca' d'Oro Baron Franchetti S. Sebastian The Palazzo Michiel dalle Colonne A merry tapestry A cardinal's nursery The Palazzo Lion The Fondaco dei Tedeschi Canova, Titian, and Byron.
The simple-minded Monticelli had no psychology to speak of he was a reversion, a "throw back" to the Venetians, the decorative Venetians, and if he had possessed the money or the leisure he hadn't enough money to buy any but small canvases he might have become a French Tiepolo, and perhaps the greatest decorative artist of France.
"And thou believest this fiction, Gelsomina?" she said, affecting pity for her cousin's credulity. "The characters of thy pretended daughter of Tiepolo and her governess are no secrets to those who frequent the piazza of San Marco." "Hadst thou seen the beauty and innocence of the lady, Annina, thou would'st not say this!" "Blessed San Teodoro! What is more beautiful than vice!
And in this fair town is also great plenty of ladies and damsels and maidens, very richly apparelled. It happened that there was a new Doge that year, our year 1268, Lorenzo Tiepolo by name, and a great procession of the gilds took place before the palace on the Piazza of St Mark to welcome his accession. Martino da Canale was watching it and wrote it all down in his chronicle.
Tiepolo has been called the last link in the chain of Venetian colourists, which began with the Bellini, followed by Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, Palma Vecchio, Bonifazio, Veronese and to this list might be added the name of the Frenchman Watteau. Chardin was also a colourist, and how many of the Poussins at this gallery might be spared to make room for one of his cool, charming paintings!
"You won't need it or any other when you grow young, as you will some day," he assured her. "Do you mean, when I fall in love? But I am in love Oh, there's Eldorada and Mr. Beck!" She broke off with a jerk, signalling with her field-glass to the pair who had just appeared at the farther end of the nave. "I told them that if they'd meet me here to-day I'd try to make them understand Tiepolo.
Because, you see, at home we never really have understood Tiepolo; and Mr. Beck and Eldorada are the only ones to realize it. Mr. Buttles simply won't." She turned to Lansing and held out her hand. "I am in love," she repeated earnestly, "and that's the reason why I find art such a RE source."
But, though the succession of thy illustrious father will be ample to meet any loan within my humble means, that of the late Signor Tiepolo will not weaken the security." "I admit thy sagacity, and feel the importance of thy warning. But it seems to have no other object or warranty than thy own fears." "With certain obscure hints from your honored father, Signore?" "Did he say more to the point?"
