II: THE SANTA CROCE MIRACLES AND CARPACCIO The Holy Cross--Gentile Bellini's Venice--The empty windows--Carpaccio's Venice--The story of S.Ursula--Gay pageantry--A famous bedroom--Carpaccio's life--Ruskin's eulogy.
In Room XV are the Santa Croce miracles.

The Holy Cross was brought by Filippo da Massaro and presented to the Scuola di S.Giovanni Evangelista.

Every year it was carried in solemn procession through Venice and something remarkable was expected of it.
The great picture by Gentile Bellini, which shows the progress of the Holy Cross procession across the Piazza in 1496, is historically of much interest.

One sees many changes and much that is still familiar.
