[M.216L] [M.216] Quattro Evangelisti 216
a shallow cavetto. Their pils at fig 1 p 31 Bit book
- dogt. very small. their capitals at fig 2 with excessively
small dogt. They are formed from the police house capital
by softening and rounding the lobes: and placing another
leaf under the angle one. They are finely finished; are
incised below: ribbed above: delicately: and {seem} passing into
the form of the bacon palace: This house therefore may
be grouped with the fine central Gothic of the Niches
of St Marks.
Confirmatory of this view is the working of the figures: the
Evangelists: it is very fine & early in character, and
closely like that of the two angels already referred to p 213
at top: (this resemblance being noted separately at
far different times) The straight-plumed, edgy, swordlike
wing is especially resemblant.
The door is very interesting: a pointed arch: having
for its mouldings - a very flat cut Byzantine animal
wreath between two dentils; all enclosed in sq. and
Spandril the spandril spaces having been filled by two winged
fillings (lions)? now defaced (compare back gate of Priuli and
see how things group together) standing against the
arch. The arms within the arch are unhappily defaced,
carried by three angels very elaborately and richly carved.
The whole above level cross lintel as usual.
