What reading level is Description of Artemesia Tapestries Belonging to Mrs Hearst book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Governing Committee at the Universal Ex- hibition held in Paris in 1878 paid an unexpected and involuntary tribute to the taste and skill of the ancient tapestry weavers in general, and to the series Artemesia in particular, by selecting it in preference to anything else to line the walls of the three salons occupied by the French statuary. They found nothing ancient or modern which enlivened the cold and icy aspect of these rooms with equal warmth and richness, and at the same time made su...ch an admirable foil to the plaster and marbles, without killing them by excessive coloring.
The ten Artemesia tapestries which are the subject of this monograph were, like the preceding, woven in the royal ateliers of Paris ; are, like them, interpreta- tions from original cartoons, and are therefore entitled to an equal share in the remarkable homage paid them at the Exposition of 1878 as above recited. I have carefully examined, by the courtesy of my friend Mr. Williamson, formerly Curator of the 25 French National Garde-Meuble, whom I cannot thank too warmly, most of the tapestries belonging to the different series Artemesia therein preserved and find that those of the era of Marie de Medicis and those which are the subject of this paper are so mnch alike in coloring and character, as well as in technical and general treatment, that both must have been woven about the same period, in the same atelier, and after the same cartoons.
