What reading level is Italian Gardens of the Renaissance And Other Studies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Giovanni it was who adorned the Vatican Loggia with fine stucco and painted reliefs, after the manner of the ancients, and brought this style to so rare a degree of perfection. While Giulio painted frescoes of Poly- phemus and Galatea on the cupola of the eastern apse, and adorned the banquet-halls with friezes of putti, candelabra, and festoons of leaves and flowers, Giovanni decorated the vaulted ceiling of the great Loggia with graceful reliefs of classical myths, sub- jects from Ovid's Meta...morphoses, and a hundred other exquisite fancies. All the gods of Olympus Jupiter and Ganymede, Juno driving her peacocks, Neptune in his car, Apollo playing the lyre, Diana on her chariot, Bacchus with his panther were introduced, and together with them, Tritons, Centaurs, Seasons, busts of poets, dancing girls, sphinxes and dogs, while the Medici arms three feathers in a ring appeared in the top of the central dome, surmounted by the Cardinal's hat. This alone would prove that the decorations of the villa, as well as the actual struc- ture, were executed in the lifetime of Leo the Tenth, before the owner of the house himself succeeded to the Papacy.
