Elijah fed by RavensThese four designs are usually attributed, as is stated in col. 5; but, as I have argued at length in chap. ii., it is not improbable that they were originally designed by (46) Gio.

In 1875–78, the scenes in the four lozenges, Nos. 47–50, by Carlo Amidei, being considered unsatisfactory, and the ancient scenes 38, 39, 40, being much dilapidated, (51) Professor Alessandro Franchi prepared four new designs of the same subjects for the lozenges, and three more subjects from the same story, for the three hexagons.

Namely:

(a) Elijah predicts the manner of Ahab’s death. No. 39.[1]

(b) Ahab mortally wounded, No. 40.

(c) Elijah carried to Heaven in a Chariot of Fire, No. 38.

These designs were executed by (52) Prof. Leopoldo Maccari, with the assistance of the sculptors (53) Antonio and (54) Giuseppe Radicchi.

The same artists also, at the same date, designed and executed, respectively, the figures of the four Theological Virtues (Nos. 7, 8, 9, and 10), as we now see them.
