Drawings Attributed to Andreas Coner.
29
Measured drawings of the window and door of the round temple at
Tivoli (plan on 24).
Compare Piranesi, Sciographia quattuor templomm, tav. VIII., IX.
In the window the inclination of the sides to one another is consider-
ably over represented, and the measurements do not seem quite accurate.
33. (30v) 30r is blank.
Sketch of the 'tempietto di Bramante' at S. Pietro in Montorio
(plan on 24).
34. (31) 3iv is blank.
SVPRA• MORTEM-AVREO.
Sectional elevation of the same with careful measurements.
Neither of these drawings shows a small attic which now exists above
the cornice of the drum and just below the cupola: it is also omitted by
Bramante (Uffizi 135 ; reproduced by Geymuller, op. cit. Pl. 55, Fig. 1),
lacopo Sansovino (Uffizi 1963), and Serlio (Arckitettura, [1562] iii. 40, 41)
and is very likely a later addition ; Letarouilly (op. cit. i. 244) notes
that it had been criticized as being too high. The lantern, again, differs
from the actual one, which (though Letarouilly, loc. cit., failed to observe it)
is certainly of later date (Geymiiller, op. cit. 66). Bramante's drawing shows
none at all, and the other Renaissance representations give it a different
form : Sansovino (Uffizi 4% 1963 ') makes it lofty and slender, rather of the
shape of a candelabrum, while a drawing in the Musee Wicar at Lille2
(supra, p. 24 n.) represents it similarly to Coner's sketch. Aristotile da
Sangallo (Uffizi 4319) and Dosio (Uffizi 2041, 2042) show different forms
again. So that it was probably not actually added till a later period.
35. (32) ' S. Mari(a)e rotund(a)e.'
Sectional elevation of the south-east quarter of the Pantheon.
36. (32v) ' T.panteonis. id. S. Mari(a)e rotund(a)ei
Sectional elevation of the eastern half of the Pantheon, without
measurements.
