To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
[Ch. XXL vulgarity by their majestic pose, the stiff rigidity of their forms, and the stamp which they bear upon them of eternal changeless tranquillity. Profound repose, with something of a look of scorn, is their characteristic expression — they resemble beings above all human weaknesses, all human passions — Epicurean deities, unconcerned spectators of the lapse of ages and the follies and woes of man.
The bas-reliefs of the period have two special fea- tures — first, they are on a far large...r scale than any previous ones ; and secondly, they are more vigorous and animated. While domestic scenes continue to be represented in the tombs, ^ and religious ones both in the tombs and in the temples, the grand subject of war is for the first time introduced* — all its phases receive careful treatment, the march, the encampment, the conflict, the siege, the pursuit ; vast surfaces are covered with enormous pictures, into which hundreds of figures are introduced • — life, action, rapid move- ment, energy are portrayed, infinitely varied attitudes occur ; the artists seem to have emancipated themselves from all the old conventional trammels, and represent the various circumstances of battle with equal truth- fulness and spirit.
