At the lateral extremities of the steps, there are two pulpits of extraordi- nary workmanship resting on the two large pillars support- ing the great cupola. They were commenced by order of St. Charles and finished under the care of the Cardinal Federico Borromeo, his kinsman. They are supported by four beautiful brass caryatides representing on the right the four doctors of the church and on the left the four Evangelists, all embellished with historical and ornamental plates of gilt and silver...ed copper, executed by the eminent artists Gio Battista Rusca and Francesco Brambilla.
On looking upward the eye sees the great architrave sup- ported by two colossal statues representing two prophets, MILAN CATHEDRAL 173 and beyond is Jesus Christ hanging from the Cross with John and Mary and two Angels by Santo Corbetta. The vault is painted en grisaille upon a very rich gilt ground under the direction of Alessandro Sanquirico, as already stated.
