He had hinted certain things concerning the Marchesa, the gay leader of society in Rome, whose name was in the Tribuna almost daily, and whose husband possessed a fine old palazzo in the Corso, as well as an official residence in Naples, where, in addition to being one of the most popular men in Italy, he was Admiral of the Port.
The landscape, which is marked by a beautiful and wholly unconventional treatment of moonlight, for which it would not be easy to find a parallel in the painting of the time, is worthy of the Cadorine, and agrees well, especially in the broad treatment of foliage, with, for instance, the background in the late Venus and Cupid of the Tribuna. The figure of St.
It was nine o'clock, and the narrow streets were echoing now to the hoarse cries of the newsvendors: "Tribuna!" "Tribuna!" "I will go and unpack then, and to-morrow I shall find some registry offices and try to get English lessons." "Yes, go, nina, and sleep well. You look tired. You must get stronger while you are with us." For a long time she could not sleep.
Some of the greatest artistic treasures of the world are united in the twenty halls and cabinets and three immense galleries of this building. The Tribuna contains the Venus de Medicis, found at Tivoli, and executed by Cleomenes, a son of Apollodorus of Athens. Opposite to it stands a statue of Apollino.
Some magnetic power stronger than my will compelled me to look. I felt that all sensuality and lustfulness lies in that which is half-concealed or intentionally disclosed; and the truth of this I recognized even more acutely, when the basin at last was full, and Wanda threw off the fur- cloak with a single gesture, and stood before me like the goddess in the Tribuna.
'The people here seem to be pretty much in her hand, said Lucy, as she rose. 'She manages most of their affairs for them. But poor, poor thing! did you see that account in the Tribuna this morning? The girl's voice dropped, as though it had touched a subject almost too horrible to be spoken of. Eleanor looked up with a sign of shuddering assent.
An importance to which it is surely not entitled in the life-work of the master is given to the portrait of the Legate Beccadelli, executed in the month of July 1552, and included among the real and fancied masterpieces of the Tribuna in the Uffizi. To the writer it has always appeared the most nearly tiresome and perfunctory of Titian's more important works belonging to the same class.
About noon, when I had just laid down the newspaper bought the night before the Roman Tribuna, which was full of dreary politics a sudden clamour in the street drew my attention. I heard the angry shouting of many voices, not in the piazza before the hotel, but at some little distance; it was impossible to distinguish any meaning in the tumultuous cries.
The Antiope herself far transcends in the sovereign charm of her beauty divine in the truer sense of the word all Titian's Venuses, save the one in the Sacred and Profane Love. The figure comes in some ways nearer even in design, and infinitely nearer in feeling, to Giorgione's Venus at Dresden than does the Venus of Urbino in the Tribuna, which was closely modelled upon it.
Benedetto was introduced into a spacious apartment, all dark save in one corner, where a gentleman about fifty years of age sat reading the Tribuna by the light of an electric lamp, which shone upon his bald head, upon the newspaper, and upon the table, littered with documents. Above him, in the dim light, a large portrait of the King was dimly visible.
