What reading level is A Descriptive Catalogue of Old Masters of the Italian School Belonging to Henry White Cannon, Villa Doccia, Fiesole book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


The Virgin too, fixing her startled eyes on S. John, raises her hand in consternation.
The little Christ however is inspired by emotions very different from those which sway his human protectors ; there is something transcendental in the solemnity and intensity of feeling which illumines his face. Indeed, the grandeur of his expression and attitude are somewhat incongruous with the seeming triviality of the incident represented, the reception of the gift of an apple from a playmate.
In the back
...ground are columns and a grey wall; on the right, the blue sky.
— 79 — The dramatic centre of this picture is the apple presented by S. John; the action of each person represented has reference to it. Nor is there anything surprising in the selection of so genre-like a motif as the subject-matter of a devotional picture. Ca- role's Virgin and Child with the Infant S. John, in this gallery, is an instance to the point. Never- theless, something unduly emphatic in the attitude of S. John, something tragic in the expression and gesture of Joseph and of the Virgin, something heroic in the bearing of the Christ, forbid us to rest in this explanation.
