To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If this is not directly traceable to the third period of the Renaissance it is so indirectly, for the worst phases of this period that showed them- selves during the reigns of Louis XIV and Louis XV have been admired and frequently copied. Being ac- cepted as representing the best in French art, they have had an influence out of proportion to their merit. The average tourist, and in fact some so-called artists, have found in the examples of this decadent style their only source of enjoyment in ...Italy and France, and have re- turned to us not even guessing the importance of what they have missed in the less obtrusive and more refined expressions of the same period. The value of knowing thoroughly the fundamentals of any period may be recognized through the analogy in learning a language, in the study of music, and in the acquisition of knowledge in any field where expression is possible to us. From time to time, in the discussion of various periods, it will be necessary to speak of these Italian periods and of the three great influences which made them, referring to them by name or by the qualities for which they stand.
