J. M. von Mauch · The Corinthian Order of the Masters
Plate 74. Corinthian Order by Scamozzi
Scamozzi's entablature has not a clean profile. He seems to have disdained to follow his models, and even where he approaches them, he has made changes. His modillions are entirely robbed of light value by the far-projecting corona. Instead of the dentils, he has used heavy mouldings, which appear as if they were tumbled over one another. His architrave is profiled very weakly. As a whole, this man has not enjoyed a very great following.
The impost and arches are found on Plate 76.
Public-domain text (1910), transcribed from the archive.org OCR of the Architectural Reprint edition and cleaned for reading: line-end hyphens rejoined, running heads, page numbers and the German and French captions engraved on the plates removed, and obvious misreadings corrected. Fractions the scan does not show legibly are marked […]; words lost at a page edge are restored in [brackets]. The nomenclature lists of Plates 23, 24, 29, 49, 75 and 82 are set as running text. Mauch’s plates (from his German edition of 1845) are not reproduced; the live figures are this book’s own.
