We cannot but admire these Avorks and examine them Avith Avonder; but they do not impress us Avith that intense sense of the beautiful, which we so much appreciate in the more simple and less elaborate enrichments of the ancient Greeks. In the Roman sculj^tures there is a softness and, as it Avere, a A'olup- tuous ma...gnificence, but there docs not exist that crispness of form and delicacy of line Avith Avhich Ave are so struck in the exquisite AVorks of Phidias. Their Corinthian capitals Avere Avonderfully elaborated. That from the Temple of Jupiter Stator at Rome (Fig. 93) Avas perhaps the most richly foliated example Avhich has ever existed; but the height at AAdiich it Avas placed must have concealed much of its delicate Avorkmanship. The foliage is said to have been taken from the Acanthus mollis, but it has very little likeness to any natural 54 type.
