Text Appearing Before Image:
principal orderon a pedestal and designing the minor order without one. The main order is Composite, resting on pedestals, whichin their turn are placed upon a plinth about 3 feet in height.The seven steps at the entrance to the church are formed inthe depth of this plinth. The central portion of the facadehas four half columns supporting entablature and pedimentcrowned with statuary. The pedestals are one-third theheight of the columns, which have 10 diameters. Thesmaller Corinthian order which, as pilasters, decorates theaisles supports half pediments on each wing. In the centreof each on the main facade are niches filled with urns andwith busts of eminent senators, flanked by pilasters withpediments. The central doorway is only open up to theimpost; the semicircular portion being left solid. Accordingto Temanza, this facade was added by the architect Scamozzi.He also informs us that the interior of the church was com-pleted in 1579, the choir and the facade being still unfinished.

Church at Maser (Plates 39, 40).—This little churchis isolated in position at the end of a long road. The plandiffers from those of the larger churches already describedat Venice. It is circular, having an internal diameter of40 feet, and is of the type Palladio admires and describes inhis Book IV., Chapter II. A wide flight of steps leads to a projecting portico ofthe Corinthian order, with two lateral arches and a centraldoorway leading into the church. The length of thisportico is nearly two-thirds of the diameter of the church,and Palladio has followed the same proportions as in thePantheon at Rome, which of course had been measuredby him, and whose portico has in length two-thirds ofthe diameter of the interior. The width of the portico inregard to length is as two to five, as at the Pantheon. The interior circumference of the church has eightCorinthian
