QUATTRO EVANGELISTI:
a shallow cavetto. Their pils at fig 1 p 31 B[i]t book
dogt. very small. their capitals at f g 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 and early in character,
and closely like that of the two angels already referred
to p 213 at top: (this r[s]ese[o]mblance 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[Q]. and
the spandril spaces having been filled by two winged (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.
