Palazzo Molin Balbi Valier Della Trezza (Dorsoduro 866, Nadali & Vianello (1999) Tav. 50). Zanotto (1847) II.ii.449 writes that this building shows a curious mixture of styles: he lists it first with buildings of the ‘stile Byzantino misto’ on the grounds that it shows something of the original Byzantine form; he also later lists it with those which are Sansovinean as a result of its 17th century reworking. At Notebook M2 p.70, Ruskin remarks that the capitals ‘should be compared carefully with the 10th house, p 12 Housebook I and that beyond the Rialto’. Notebook M p.64 ‘the 10th palace, p 12 House book, u. r - this seems to me a most precious capital’
Sheet No. 42. ‘December 5th. p 63. 64’. (RL 1636 box) (part).
Sheet No. 43. ‘Nov Dec 5th. p.64’. ‘Base drawn real size with paper against it at angle shaft’ (RL 1636 box).
(Franzoi and Smith (1993) p. 45, No. 23 Grand Canal (Right Bank))
