First sentence: IN the "Chiesa del Santo," above the main altar, the four bronze figures in high relief surrounding Our Lady, and Our Lady herself, are by Donatello, as also beneath them, on the predella, are the two little bas-relief scenes on the front, and the two at the back, also in bronze; and the four Evangelists at the corners, two at the front and two at the back, in bronze bas-relief, but only half length; and on the back of the altar, beneath the retable, the dead Christ with the other figures forming a circle, and the two figures on the right with the other two on the left, also in bas-relief, but in marble.
