Plate 22. Doric Order of Vincenz Scamozzi

Scamozzi (1552-1616) has modeled his order after the Baths of Diocletian, and has followed almost entirely the principal proportions. Only the single members have a different relation among themselves. He has decorated the soffit of the corona, given the triglyphs too much projection, and used a plain tænia and broken same around under the triglyphs. The architrave has two facias as in Palladio's, except it is higher. His capital has a certain charm. The base of his column is much too rich for the entablature, which has only one ornamented member. The impost is shown on Plate 25.
