What reading level is A History of Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The Wrestler Group, in Florence (91), may be compared with the Disk-thrower (79). As both are gymnastic subjects, the com- plicated composition in the one case, as contrasted with the simple conception in the other, may be fairly considered a significant illustration of the Alexandrine taste, which is known to have pro- duced the Wrestlers.
156 ALEXANDRINE SCULPTURE, The Belvedere Torso. — From the large list of famous Antiques, two more may be selected as worthy of especial mention. Both are... quoted rather for the benefit of technical students than for a more general interest. The " Belvedere Torso '' of the A^atican, the trunk of a seated Hercules, is considered by anatomical experts one of the most astounding works of ancient science. It was the fa- vorite study of Michael Angelo. * The "Boxer, " or "Fighting Gladiator" of the Louvre, is a work of similar anatomical tendencies. The real meaning of this piece is not clear. It has been sometimes thought to be a warrior ward- ing off the attack of a mounted soldier, or a copy of one part of a group treating this subject.
