Palazzo Mastelli Spada (Cannaregio 3381, Nadali & Vianello (1999) Tav. 9) facade on the Rio Madonna dell’ Orto. Known as ‘del Cammello’. See Works, 9.xxvi, Plate B ‘The Palazzo Del Camello’ discussed at Works, 9.li. ‘Plate B (the Palazzo del Cammello, with detail of some of the decoration) is also in Mrs. Severn's possession; it is in pencil (9x6). The house is so called from the camel with a man in oriental costume sculptured on it. It is situated on the Canale della Maria dell’ Orto, and is one of three palaces built by the brothers Mastelli [. . .] Ruskin's sketch takes some liberty with the adjoining building - an old monastery, which is in fact a low building, though there is a high house beyond it’
