[M.200L] [M.200]
No 142, 143, 155, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 167 St Marks. Screen. 200
stiff and less graceful: it has finished smooth mouldings and statues
above in finish & classicalism far in advance of the Judgment
of Solomon at the Carta angle: and all this with infallible date
1384. Its capitals if not gilded would be wonderful. They
are crisp, fanciful - finished - cut clear in most daring, but
in effective ways, and all different, but they are bad in
composition and effect. Not more luxuriant but cramped
and ungraceful.
The same screen is carried - further back across the dark
choir aisles - and attached to it is a little balustrade whose
date would be invaluable to me, facing that of Ducal
palace balcony. No 142 gives from A to B the real height
of one of its panels at D section of panel bar, at E
the tracery bar, showing depth of the inlaid black marble the
panelling being red, which describes the foils. all these real
size. G. the plinth on top of all reduced, while No 143
was actually traced on the sharp ridge of the tracery bars.
