38 26 No 6. VERONA SCALA MONUMENTS (I think) a red ground, the bas reliefs richly gilt and painted also The flow of the bears thoroughly fine; far above northern Gothic work: the whole sarcophagus look cin-cento in style. No 6. Fig I. Base (with section) of one of the pillars of the sic detached niches round; already carefully drawn, each with its statue as large as life: This base is the real size or about it: the measure being (two dots separating ft and niches) Height of capital alone, 7 inch and ¾: Height of simple shaft 4 "6 - circumference of do 1 " 3¾ To ground from lower fillet of capital 4 " 11¾ The arch of the niche is slightly stilted, its foils being flat and fall- ing equally within the great arch, their measures give the line of the great arch i.e. a - b (opposite) 1"7½ c - c2 11 in d - 3 6 in d - f 9½ in a - d 7¼in. Fig. 2 section of mouldings on capital abacus head: Each side of the abacus is 6¾ in: the other measures were in- accessible; the dotted lines are the lozenges of the enclosing arch: but the section is better and more truly given on the back of No 2. Vid only note that the four arches of the niche appear to be built of four simple slabs of stone of the thickness a b (fig 2 No 6) and a dome very flat of plaster, fills up the roof under the pinnacle, its cones coming rudely down into the angle at a.
