What reading level is Carlo Dolci book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

When he was not painting portraits he turned his atten- tion to still life, painting some fruit and flower pictures for his Confessor, Canon Car- panti. His next work was for Lorenzo de Medici, an " Adoration, " for which he asked twenty scudi and received forty, and then he painted the subject again on a rather larger canvas for one of the Genitori family, who paid seventy scudi. This picture was sold at the owner's death and realised just four times the sum that had been paid for it, while so...me pictures of the Evangelists painted by Dolci for one of his Confessors realised nearly twenty times as much as he had received.
It may be suggested without much fear of contradiction, that the success of the 32 CARLO DOLCI painter's earliest work was not the best thing that could have happened to him. If he had been compelled to develop slowly and in the face of adverse circumstance, it is more likely that Carlo Dolci would have given the world work of more lasting merit, but cir- cumstance forced him to paint for patrons at a time when he should have been study- ing for himself.
