[Madonna dell Orto - continued]
[diagram] C [central west window of Madonna dell Orto]
[diagram] Archivolt and jamb Shaft [diagram]
[drawing]
[diagram] B in great low niches
[diagram] [diagram] A above for greater
upper 4 foil interval
[diagram] Observe. in all
the small tracery
openings the section
A. is used, to mark
them larger. but
in the trefoiled larger
arches B.
At C. opposite is shown
the treatment of the
two 4 foil branches
on the left. note that
all their interstices are
bits of a hypothetical
continuation of the tracery, cut off by
the archivolt tracery -a most singular system
running through all Venice. But at C. though
the lower member of the 4 foil is large enough
to have a cut through it by law of the
tracery - it is left filled up. as too small to
be pierced - (Perhaps this a piece of restoration)
