The square supporting this dome is tall and beautifully lit from above. The result is one of surpassing loveliness in the contrast between the dim rich nave and the gleaming choir, with its wealth of gold and mosaics, set off by the deep repeated tones of the shafts of deep red porphyry in their sockets, by the broad band of Greek inscrip- tion on silver, framing the restful apse containing the solemn figure of Christ ; with its wonderful play of light and shade, caused by refinements which can... only be studied, not described, in the 1 60 THE CAPPELLA PALATINA shape and span of the arches, in archivolts and mouldings, in the whole sensitive modelling of the surface over which the glittering skin of the mosaics has been stretched. The colour harmony has the same subtle quality, whether it be on bright days when shafts of sunlight bring out the mystic splendour, the choir below is filled with figures robed in purple and fine linen, among trails of silvery blue smoke, and the exquisite playing of the organ contributes to produce one of the most impressive sensations of the commingling of har- monies that come to one anywhere ; or whether it be on dull days when the radiance is veiled and a soft blue sings predominant, peaceful and soothing.
