290 VENETIAN INDEX.
Apollinare, Church of St. Of no importance.
Apostoli, Church of the. The exterior is nothing. There
is said to be a picture by Veronese in the interior, "The
Fall of the Manna." I have not seen it; but, if it be
of importance, the traveller should compare it carefully with
Tintoret's, in the Scuola di San Rocco, and San Giorgio Mag-
giore.
Apostoli, Palace at, II. 253, on the Grand Canal, near the
Rialto, opposite the fruit-market. A most important transitional palace. Its sculpture in the first story is peculiarly rich
and curious; I think Venetian, in imitation of Byzantine.
The sea story and first floor are of the first half of the thirteenth century, the rest modern. Observe that only one wing
of the sea story is left, the other half having been modernized. The traveller should land to look at the capital drawn
in Plate II. of Vol. III. fig. 7.
Arsenal. Its gateway is a curiously picturesque example of
Renaissance workmanship, admirably sharp and expressive in
its ornamental sculpture; it is in many parts like some of
the best Byzantine work. The Greek lions in front of it
appear to me to deserve more praise than they have received ;
though they are awkwardly balanced between conventional and
imitative representation, having neither the severity proper to
the one, nor theAveracity necessary for the other.

Badoer, Palazzo, in the Campo San Giovanni in Bragola. A
magnificent example of the fourteenth century Gothic, circa
1310-1320, anterior to the Ducal Palace; and showing beautiful
ranges of the fifth order window, with fragments of the original balconies, and the usual lateral window larger than any of
the rest. In the centre of its arcade on the first floor is the
inlaid ornament drawn in Plate VIII. Vol. I. The fresco
painting on the walls is of later date ; and I believe the heads
which form the finials have been inserted afterwards also, the
original windows having been pure fifth order.
The building is now a ruin, inhabited by the lowest orders;
the first floor, when I was last in Venice, by a laundress.
