376 VENETIAN INDEX.
Y
Vitali, Church of St. Said to contain a picture by Vittor
Carpaccio, over the high altar: otherwise of no importance.
Yolto Santo, Church of the. An interesting but desecrated
ruin of the fourteenth century; fine in style. Its roof retains
some fresco coloring, but, as far as I recollect, of later date
than the architecture.
Z
Zaccaria, Church of St. Early Renaissance, and fine of its
kind; a Gothic chapel attached to it is of great beauty. It
contains the best John Bellini in Venice, after that of San
G. Grisostomo, " The Virgin, with Four Saints;" and is said
to contain another John Bellini and a Tintoret, neither of
which I have seen.
Zitelle, Church of the. Of no importance.
Zobenigo, Church of Santa Maria, III. 124. It contains
one valuable Tintoret, namely:
Christ with Sta. Justina and St. Augustin. (Over the
third altar on the south side of the nave.) A picture of small
size, and upright, about ten feet by eight. Christ appears to
be descending out of the clouds between the two saints, who
are both kneeling on the sea shore. It is a Venetian sea,
breaking on a flat beach, like the Lido, with a scarlet galley in
the middle distance, of which the chief use is to unite the two
figures by a point of color. Both the saints are respectable
Yenetians of the lower class, in homely dresses and with
homely faces. The whole picture is quietly painted, and
somewhat slightly; free from all extravagance, and displaying
little power except in the general truth or harmony of colors
so easily laid on. It is better preserved than usual, and worth
dwelling upon as an instance of the style of the master when
at rest
