[M.136L] [M.136] Piazzetta de' Leoni. House in. Arch Madonna 136
Observe in case I forget to examine it, a house with five or six Three windows: two ati on the side next the bridge of sighs - forming
most beautiful 4th with a2 sec. beside the moat of the the corner of the house. These are sketched in general proportion
Arsenal behind the Tana p 30 l G book fig 1 only the upper lines of base in shafts
are wrong, all should be carried across at level p.
On page 30 the head of the window: capitals & bases are
given & sec of plinth below. Observe the Pure Byzantine
type of capital merely leaved: and the points of leaves
gracefully holding the lower fillet of abacus; while the
pil. is simply transitional Af: The shaft heads as usual of
one block: cut through into deep shade below the roll.
The leaves have one central rib: and as shown at fig
2 have the curling of the inter lobe - or groin developed
- but not the curled top. The Archivolt sec. is most
rare, fig 3.
The other window is the same, but with Ap pils simply
Madonna. over Archway at Ponte.
On p 31 side of arch with junction of dentils, highly
curious: p 31 l a - b. the sections across a b
with cusp, perhaps cusp should be a little wider
of course in looking up. the back of the moulding b is
not seen on p 31. but only the flat space at junction
of dentils where the two fillets run into a little creek of
level field. Fig 3 the ornament round left hand
