What reading level is French Painting book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
II'. RI" Largilliere was born in Paris but he was brought up in Antwerp where his father had affairs. There he was apprenticed to a Flemish landscape and genre painter and employed on painting fiowers, game and fish in his master's works. At the age of eighteen he went to England where he became an assistant to Lely and painted the drapery in many of his pictures. He returned to Paris about six years later and remained there — ■ (except for a flying visit to England to paint James II and his Qu...een) — till his death at the age of eighty-seven in the middle of the reign of Louis XV. ^ In two portraits at Chantilly, the so-called Mme de iMuhespine and Gevtleman oj the House ojConde^ the light touch of LargilUere's sketches has been to some extent sacrificed, as in many of his finished pictures, to completeness of representation. In the male portrait — where the wig is blonde, the coat red and the drapery orange — we see the influence of Van Dyck both in the composi- tion and the colour.
