LATE WORK
‘ St. Giustina and the Senators,’ which it resembles in its faded,
Veronese-like colour. A lovely, radiant piece of work is the
‘ Procession of St. Ursula and her Virgins,’ in the old Church of
the Hospital of St. Mark (now S. Lazaro dei Mendicanti). It looks
as if painted from one of the splendid Venetian pageants, and
Tintoretto has taken the opportunity, of which he rarely made
use, to bring in fashionable costumes. He has made of it a very
Dream of Fair Women, in rich velvets and brocades, with long
trains and elaborate head-dresses and has given us a bevy of
lovely faces.
