Chapter which drew us first to St. Anthony"s, and we saw them with the satisfaction naturally attending the contemplation of frescos discovered only since 1858, after having been hidden under plaster and whitewash for many centuries; but we could not believe that Giotto"s fame was destined to gain much by their rescue from oblivion. They are in nowise to be compared with this master"s frescos in the Chapel of the Annunziata,--which, indeed, is in every way a place of wonder and delight. You reach it by pa.s.sing through a garden lane bordered with roses, and a taciturn gardener comes out with clinking keys, and lets you into the chapel, where there is n.o.body but Giotto and Dante, nor seems to have been for ages. Cool it is, and of a pulverous smell, as a sacred place should be; a blessed benching goes round the walls, and you sit down and take unlimited comfort in the frescos. The gardener leaves you alone to the solitude and the silence, in which the talk of the painter and the exile is plain enough. Their contemporaries and yours are cordial in their gay companionship: through the half-open door falls, in a pause of the rain, the same sunshine that they saw lie there; the deathless birds that they heard sing out in the garden trees; it is the fresh sweetness of the gra.s.s mown so many hundred years ago that breathes through all the lovely garden grounds.
