Simeone, Profeta, Church of St. Very important, though
small, possessing the precious statue of St. Simeon, above
noticed, II. 309. The rare early Gothic capitals of the nave
are only interesting to the architect; but in the little passage
by the side of the church, leading out of the Campo, there is
a curious Gothic monument built into the wall, very beautiful
in the placing of the angels in the spandrils, and rich in the
vine-leaf moulding above.
Simeone, Piccolo, Church of St. One of the ugliest churches
in Venice or elsewhere. Its black dome, like an unusual
species of gasometer, is the admiration of modern Italian
architects.
Sospiri, Ponte de'. The well known "Bridge of Sighs," a
work of no merit, and of a late period (see Vol. II. p. 304),
owing the interest it possesses chiefly to its pretty name, and
to the ignorant sentimentalism of Byron.
Spirito Santo, Church of the. Of no importance.
Stefano, Church of St. An interesting building of central
Gothic, the best ecclesiastical example of it in Venice. The
west entrance is much later than any of the rest, and is of the
richest Renaissance Gothic, a little anterior to the Porta della
Carta, and first-rate of its kind. The manner of the introduction of the figure of the angel at the top of the arch is full
of beauty. Note the extravagant crockets and cusp finials as
signs of decline. &
Stefano, Church of St., at Murano (pugnacity of its abbot),
II. 33. The church no longer exists.
Strope, Campiello della, house in, II. 266.
T
Tana, windows at the, II. 260.
Tiepolo, Palazzo, on the Grand Canal. Of no importance.
Tolentini, Church of the. One of the basest and coldest
works of the late Renaissance. It is said to contain two Bonifazios.
Toma, Church of St. Of no importance.
Toma, Ponte San. There is an interesting ancient doorway
opening on the canal close to this bridge, probably of the
twelfth century, and a good early Gothic door, opening upon
the bridge itself.
