Plate 48. Ionic Order by Vincenz Scamozzi

Here also are found modillions and a dentil member, probably an imitation of the cornice from the Temple of Concordia. The modillions are peculiarly decorated on the sides where they are always in shadow and not plainly seen. The column capital has, as at the Temple of Concordia, four corner volutes without connections at the top, but springing out in the same manner as we see on the degenerate Corinthian capital of the Arch of Titus, Plate 77. In addition to this, when we consider the floral swag which Scamozzi so cheerfully hung from the eyes of the volutes (which has been omitted in our plate), we are impressed that this order lacks the necessary earnestness of stone construction.

The impost is shown on Plate 50.
