St Marks. Tomb of Dandolo. 131
acknowledged 14th century work: On the right of the
Baptistery of St Marks is the tomb of Andrea Dandolo,
on which this inscription says that mille trecentos quatuor
ut decies jour (quinos) dedisset - quinque I believe
Idolatry (by the by, note the Greek Pallas kind of feeling to
Greek sculpture Madonna in inscription, GREEK
p 69 my St Marks: and what is said of the stone
in Cardinal Zeno’s chapel:
Observe also the ornament of the Orange pillars of
the altar: sweeping boughs of stone pine, very
grand)
- i.e. 1354 date of Andrea’s death: Nothing
is to be got from Venice and its lagoons, nor much from
Selvatico at p 146. In the Pisan style it is certainly
on the sarcophagus with (three) basreliefs - very quaint
- vide p 12 Gothic book is supported on brackets,
p 10 l G book: which carry first a bold leaf
plinth and hacked ledge in Verona marble set in
above: fig 1 p 10 G. Book: above the basreliefs
is another plinth or cornice: under the recumbent
fig p 10 G. book a. the basreliefs are separated
by the twisted shafts, p 12.
