[HB2.34L] [HB2.34] 34 [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)
