MILAN ST EUSTORGIO DUOMO VERONA DUOMO.
at its roof, or centre, coinciding, as if struck with three
semicircles afterwards passing into right lines, or in
places into a reversed curve of the most delicate kind.
Tomb of San Pietro Mastire: a ost glorious piece of Gothic in chuch
Pisan sculpture of St Eustorzio at Milan: statues standing in front of
the square red pillars with flowing foliage capitals:
about ½ the size of life - very Nino de Fiesole like -
complete sculpture painting, with exquisite costume;
the Temperantia with a veil and ivy crown pouring water
Water carving into a vase: the water cut in a wavy detached stream, and
the O[)]bedientia, with a cattle? Yoke, prae[o]minently beauti-ful: Much spoiled by golding above: A bas relief of
a ship with ropes all undercut out of the marble, remark-
able for its picturesqueness and depth.
Variety Note the bad variety mentioned at p 14 1 of the other
volume respecting cathedral of Milan: as if the archi-
tect had tried one niche and not liked it and then
tried another: how different from the determined variety,
which is always a mere modulation of a fixed design.
Capitals. A most pure and simple type in the small double shafted,
and superimposed cloister of Duomo Verona, p 43 N. the
profile of the capitals on either side, i.e. either the
dotted line a a b is a pure right line, as below at c
which is a section through b, the curvature being entirely
given by the bevelled angles.
