Guardi's picture of S.Giorgio Maggiore in the Accademia, No.

707, shows us that the earlier campanile, which fell in 1774, was higher and slenderer than the present one.
We now come to Room XVII, which has a number of small interesting works, some by great masters.

Mantegna is here with a S.George, which I reproduce on the opposite page.

Very beautiful it is, both in feeling and colour.

It is painted on wood and the dragon is extremely dead.
