VIII. THE DUCAL PALACE.
329
Memmi in the Spanish chapel at Florence, of Ambrogio di
Lorenzo in the Palazzo Publico of Pisa, of Orcagna in Or San
Michele at Florence, of Giotto at Padua and Assisi, in mosaic
on the central cupola of St. Mark's, and in sculpture on the
pillars of the Ducal Palace. The first two series are carefully
described by Lord Lindsay; both are too complicated for
comparison with the more simple series of the Ducal Palace;
the other four of course agree in giving first the cardinal and
evangelical virtues; their variations in the statement of the
rest will be best understood by putting them in a parallel
arrangement.

§ Lxrv. It is curious, that in none of these lists do we find
either Honesty or Industry ranked as a virtue, except in the
Venetian one, where the latter is implied in Alacritas, and
opposed not only by "Accidia" or sloth, but by a whole series
of eight sculptures on another capital, illustrative, as I believe,
of the temptations to idleness; while various other capitals, as
we shall see presently, are devoted to the representation of the
* Inscribed, I believe, Pietas, meaning general reverence and godly fear.
