No 47 CA GIUSTINIANI
No 47. F[P]ig 1. Details of Traceried window in palace of
the young Foscari½ A archivolt with tracery: B tracery
bar: The recess above the dentil at top is, I think in-
tended to be filled with marble; it exists in nearly
all the windows of this palace: showing the general system
Masonry very nicely; - a rectangle is left in the bricks; this
is walled with marble dentil edge: forming the Sq; then
the archivolt and pilaster are introduced independently,
vide opposite: In the[i]se windows the recess seen in section
goes all round and the finial of the window is worked
roughly back to it - only faced with leafage; as if marble
were to be put in. It is occupied now with canvass
painted in imitation of it
Traceries. C: Tracery bar, drawn larger with cusp: D tracery bar
without cusp, as at point of arch, the arch thus leaving
a fillet between it and the bar: not meeting it
as at Danielis, Now, it is most singular that the whole
window is not worked with this section. In the two small
4 foils near top, there would have been no penetration
large enough for effect; and the tracery has[r]shave their
sides to those 4 foils of the section E: whose certical
depth a b of course equals that of the other side of the
bar, or a2 b2 in B: The cusp in E is unfilleted; and
the foil leaves no fillet at its point, but r[e]eaches the
point C. as seen
