What reading level is A Text-Book of the History of Painting book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
William Blake (1757-1827) was hardly a painter at all, though he drew and colored the strange figures of his fancy and cannot be passed over in any history of English art. He was perhaps the most imaginative artist of Eng- lish birth, though that imagination was often disordered and almost incoherent. He was not a correct draughts- man, a man with no great color-sense, and a workman without technical training ; and yet, in spite of all this, he drew some figures that are almost sublime in their... sweep of power. His decorative sense in filling space with lines is well shown in his illustrations to the Book of Job. In grace Digitized by LjOOQ IC 248 HISTORY OF PAINTING.
of form and feeling of motion he was excellent. Weird and uncanny in thought, delving into the unknown, he opened a world of mystery, peopled with a strange Apocalyptic race, whose writhing, flowing bodies are the epitome of graceful grandeur.
OEKBE-FAINTEBS: From Blake to Horland (17 63-1804) is FIG. 97. — CONSTABLE. CORN FIELD.
