COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
The picture shows the two pairs of putti next to the throne of Joel. Simulating stone reliefs, the putti appear to support the projection of the cornicea molded horizontal ledge along the top of a building or wall; a decorative molding between wall and roof.. The figures are placed symmetrically at the side of each throne, in graceful poses that at times resemble dances. They imitate and vary, with a fresh vein of creativity, the typical repertoire of Florentine Renaissance sculpture, from the singing galleries to the glazed terra-cottas.
