	[No title]
		The Venetians pretend that many of the late winters have been much severer than those of former years, but I think this pretense has less support in fact than in the custom of mankind everywhere, to claim that such weather as the present, whatever it happens to be, was never seen before.
		Venetian neighbors have the amiable custom of studying one another's features through opera-glasses; but I could not persuade myself to use this means of learning the mirror's response to the damsel's constant "Fair or not?" being a believer in every woman's right to look well a little way off.

	Venetian Paintings from the Collection of the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation
		The Venetian paintings belonging to the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation are part of a larger collection of Renaissance and Baroque art that has been gathered in the last twenty years for the benefit of the people of Texas.
		Vasari believed the Venetians were at a disadvantage because, coming from a medieval city, they were not surrounded by the glories of ancient Roman art and architecture (and indeed one can recognize that the Renaissance, insofar as it entails the "rebirth" of classical culture, is adoptive rather than native in Venice).
		Rather, in Venetian art the arrangement of colors, their tonality, and the tactile quality of the paint itself were more a fundamental part of the image than an embellishment of a drawing.

	Venetian art around 1500
		Titian, as the greatest colorist ever, epitomized the Venetian command of color, using in his Danaë, not many different colors but color as a single element, unifying the painting and binding it together.
		As the greatest maritime power in Europe, at the center of trade between north and south and east and west, Venice was the port-of-entry for all exotic pigments and dyes and Venetian artists used these extravagantly.
		Oil paints allowed more subtle coloring effects and were adopted early by Venetian artists, probably because tempera and fresco were unstable in the humid sea air of Venice.

	VENETIAN AND NON-VENETIAN CRUSADERS IN THE FOURTH CRUSADE, ACCORDING TO THE VENETIAN CHRONICLES' TRADITION

		From this perspective, it is to be quite facile to accuse the Venetians and their doge as being the ones who anticipated the entire evolution of the events, so that they are the first to be responsible.
		Actually, the Venetian chronicles are generally rejected by the historians of the Fourth Crusade, being regarded suspiciously, on the simple reason that they are later sources.
