In 1388 Francesco da Carrara had to cede his territory to Visconti's generals, who in the same year possessed themselves for him of the Trevisan Marches. It was then that the Venetians saw too late the error they had committed in suffering Verona and Padua to be annexed by the Visconti, when they ought to have been fortified as defenses interposed between his growing power and themselves.
The latter, next to Hermes himself, is the acknowledged chief of the science, and Trevisan found himself in good hands; although he wished he had made his acquaintance earlier, as he had already spent to no purpose about 800 crowns.
Trevisan pondered over his critical position for two entire months; but at the end of that time a ray of hope flashed across the gloom of his meditations. The nature of the hope we do not know; we can only tell what was the course of action on which it determined him. He arose suddenly from his depression, and, girding up his loins, began to travel.
"You can see the Italian Alps," Miss Barton remarked, pulling aside the felza curtains and pointing lazily to the snow masses on the blue north horizon. "That purplish other sea is the Trevisan plain, and back of it is Castelfranco Giorgione's Castelfranco and higher up where the blue begins to break into the first steps of the Alps is perched Asolo Browning's Asolo. Oh!
Among others, the 'Turba Philosophorum' of the 'Good Trevisan, 'The Remonstance of Nature to the wandering Alchymist, by Jean de Meung; and several others of the best books: but, as I had no right' principles, I did not well know what course to follow. "At last I left my solitude; not to see my former acquaintances, the adepts and operators, but to frequent the society of true philosophers.
"They call it so," answered the boatman with some contempt. "The Beroviero have several houses on it, too." "It seems to me that Beroviero owns most of Murano," observed the Greek. "He must be very rich." "He is by far the richest. But there is Alvise Trevisan, a rich man, too, and there are two or three others. The island and all the glass-works are theirs, amongst them."
The new Doge Francesco Venier had, upon his accession in 1554, called upon Titian to paint, besides his own portrait, the orthodox votive picture of his predecessor Marcantonio Trevisan, and this official performance was duly completed in January 1555, and hung in the Sala de' Pregadi.
