What reading level is An Art Tour to Northern Capitals of Europe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fact is, the religious arts in Russia are in an anomalous and false position ; they are divided between the effete Byzantine and the flaunting modern ; there is no interval or inter- mediate resting-place between a Madonna, black as ebony, and a span-new saint decked in costume as for a book of fashion. The art-revival fostered by Russian emperors is not on a par with even that modern mediae- valism, the so-called school of Christian art patronised and pampered by King Ludwig in Munich. Tha...t the Government is wise in taking to mosaics in some form as a national system of wall-decoration cannot be ques- tioned. It is evident that the exclusion of sculpture from the Russian church leaves a void not easily filled.
Frescoes would have been probably incompatible with the climate, and, moreover, must have Been overpowered by the richness of adjacent marble, malachite, lapis lazuli^ &c.; whereas mosaics, being built up of solid materials, com- port well with the surrounding structure. The com- mencement already made in this magnificent decorative process cannot fail to have ample development in the future.
