What reading level is Gerard Dou book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The effects of reflection of light thrown back into darkness, of colors producing thereby other colors, were observed and ex- perimented with; the magical realm of chiaroscuro was explored. In other words, the life existing even in what seems to be mere empty space was dis- covered, for he who understands the delicate mysteries of light and its re- flections finds no emptiness even in a bare interior; movement and life are everywhere, the atmosphere is vibrant with them. Now for the first time ...could the painter successfully produce harmonies from the simplest kind of themes. Special objects were no longer needful to awaken interest in the spectator, for the artist now knew how tb invest the barest interior with in- terest merely by his treatment of the air and the light. Subjectivity had ac- quired a new power of expression.
At a time when Rembrandt himself was still young, still acquiring knowl- edge and skill with every work that he produced, Dou became the pupil of that master of glowing, golden light, and of deep, powerful shadows; and as a great deal depends upon the way in which an artist has been taught to look at things, Dou became by imperceptible stages, and unconsciously to him- self, learned in the mastery of light and of color.
