The side niches record her artistic triumphs in colors emblematic of the sea and sky. A fleet of ships circles in the central vault, and the walls are hung with those heavy garlands of fruit, woven to this day in Venice for the Redentore feast. An inner alcove, brilliant with gold, silver, and peacock blues and greens, commemorates the Eastern conquests of the Planter of the Lion. Here the emblems and devices, chosen from her crumbling palace-walls, are all Byzantine. Viewed from the centre of the gallery, these Pompeian and Renaissance corridors, opening out on either hand, present agreeable vistas of color, and their details demand close and careful study. The hanging lanterns in them are modern reproductions of an old design made in Venice.
