What reading level is An Elementary History of Art Architecture Sculpture Painting book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We will neither notice his small dining-room pictures (bodegones) nor his little domestic scenes in the Flemish style. The most celebrated of his landscapes, at all events at Madrid, are a View of Aranjuez and a View of the Prado.
IN CASTILE. 491 Amongst his historic landscapes we must especially mention the Visit of S. Antony to S. Paul the Hermit.
In portrait-painting Velazquez shares the glory of Titian, Van Dyck and Rembrandt. He has surpassed all his fellow-countrymen, and is scarcely equa...lled by his great rivals in other schools. Nothing can surpass his skill in depicting the human form, or his boldness in seizing it under its most difficult aspects : for example, the eques- trian portrait of his royal friend, Philip IV. , the queen Elizabeth of France, and Marian of Austria, the young Infanta Margaret, and the Infante Don Balthazar, some- times proudly handling an arquebus of his own height, or else galloping on a spirited Andalusian pony. The Count- duke of Olivarez, another protector of the artist, is repre- sented on horseback and clothed in armour; and in this picture, besides an equal amount of resemblance and life, there is also an energy and commanding grandeur which the painter could not give to the indolent monarch.
