FONDACE DE TURCHI
wall face is covered with irregular slabs of marble;
( and the spaces between the dentils carefully fitted with
( long apparent voussoirs.
( Fig 3 is the section of the base, which at the level d e
( runs continuously along the arches pilasters, and shafts:
( The line f2 is the true section; the space at the
( angle is singularly rude and blunt - just a shade more de
( veloped than the space of St Ambrozio Milan, its section
( through the centre is indicated at fig 4, but it is quite
( blunt in execution, and projects oddly, as if pushed out
( of the middle of the roll, having no traces of lines
( above it, it is a process, not an overlaid leaf.
Pisan Gothic (continued from p 48 1.) or radiant lines of arch - this
a general though not constant character: Leaf
capitals of great elegance, and the simplest outline -
approciamting to early English in circular shafts in
groups or single; sometimes as in Como- bound together
with serpent and thus connecting themselves with Lucca on
one side - Venice on the other. Compare balustrade of
St Marks carefully: Into this group will fall the beauti-
ful circular gates of Verona: the cloisters of
Duomo, Verona - its facial arcades and hosts of churches
at Florence - Pisa - Pistoya - The chief vestige of
this style that I have found in Venice is the little
church of San Nicolo de Tolentini, whose capitals are
San Nicolo nothing else
de Tolentini,
Venice.
