Ruskin seems to have written ‘Madona’ for ‘Madonna’ The reference is to the trumeau of the mid-thirteenth century South Transept Portal of the cathedral at Amiens. The crowned Madonna has an angel at each side of her head. See Notebook M p.188 and compare Notebook M2 p.163 where the figures at the Academy Door in Venice and Amiens are compared with similar figures at the cathedral of St. Maurice, Vienne.
