Transcript | 76 VENICE. themselves. There is no need to look for them. They are ready always, and seem to invite you to paint them. Then the collections of paintings by the great masters of the Venetian school — Titian, Tintoretto, Paul Veronese, Bassano, and a host of other great names—these invaluable collections are contained in the Ducal Palace and the Academia del Belle Arti. In the latter are some of Titian's grandest works ; the sight of the " Assumption of the Virgin" is worth the journey to Venice, and was painted when the artist was 30 years of age ; whilst close by, his picture of the " Lowering from the Cross," painted when he was 98 years old, hangs to show the wonderful vigour still remaining in this prince of painters, whose life must have been a very happy one, courted as he was by the great ones of the earth. |
