What reading level is A Wanderer in Florence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If ever a son of the Church toiledfor her honour and for the happiness of mankind it was he.
There are examples of Fra Angelico's work elsewhere in Florence;the large picture in Room I of this gallery; the large altar-pieceat the Uffizi, with certain others; the series of mural paintingsin the cells of S. Marco; and his pictures will be found not onlyelsewhere in Florence and Italy but in the chief galleries of theworld; for he was very assiduous. We have an excellent example atthe National Gal...lery, No. 663; but this little room gives us theartist and rhapsodist most completely. In looking at his pictures, three things in particular strike the mind: the skill with which hecomposed them; his mastery of light; and--and here he is unique--thepleasure he must have had in painting them. All seem to have been play;he enjoyed the toil exactly as a child enjoys the labour of buildinga house with toy bricks. Nor, one feels, could he be depressed. Evenin his Crucifixions there is a certain underlying happiness, dueto his knowledge that the Crucified was to rise again and ascend toHeaven and enjoy eternal felicity.
