328 VENETIAN INDEX.
contain a Paul Veronese, and I suppose the so-called " Chair
of St. Peter " must be worth examining.
Pisani, Palazzo, on the Grand Canal. The latest Venetian
Gothic, just passing into Renaissance. The capitals of the
first floor windows are, however, singularly spirited and graceful, very daringly undercut, and worth careful examination.
The Paul Veronese, once the glory of this palace, is, I believe,
not likely to remain in Yenice. The other picture in the same
room, the "Death of Darius," is of no value.
Pisani, Palazzo, at St. Stefano. Late Renaissance, and of no
merit, but grand in its colossal proportions, especially when
seen from the narrow canal at its side, which terminated by
the apse of the Church of San Stefano, is one of the most
picturesque and impressive little pieces of water scenery in
Venice.
Polo, Church of St. Of no importance, except as an example
of the advantages accruing from restoration. M. Lazari says
of it, "Before this church was modernized, its principal
chapel was adorned with Mosaics, and possessed a pala of
silver gilt, of Byzantine workmanship, which is now lost."
Polo, Square of St. (Campo San Polo.) A large and important square, rendered interesting chiefly by three palaces
on the side of it opposite the church, of central Gothic (1360),
and fine of their time, though small. One of their capitals
has been given in Plate II. of this volume, fig. 12. They are
remarkable as being decorated with sculptures of the Gothic
time, in imitation of Byzantine ones; the period being marked
by the dog-tooth and cable being used instead of the dentil
round the circles.
Polo, Palazzo, at San G. Grisostomo (the house of Marco Polo),
II. 139. Its interior court is full of interest, showing fragments
of the old building in every direction, cornices, windows, and
doors, of almost every period, mingled among modern rebuilding and restoration of all degrees of dignity.
Porta Della Carta, II. 302.
Priuli, Palazzo. A most important and beautiful early Gothic
Palace, at San Severo; the main entrance is from the Funda-
mento San Severo, but the principal facade is on the other
side, towards the canal. The entrance has been grievously
