What reading level is Lectures On Painting Delivered to the Students of the Royal Academy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sea " DA VID " AND HIS SCHOOL. LOI ought surely in such a subject to play an important part. We miss altogether the long swell which always follows a storm, and the helpless condition of a rude raft as it plunges and rises on the big waves. Gericault's single wave, which threatens to break over the raft, is a pasteboard, theatrical one, which need cause no alarm. To criticise the setting of the sail from a nautical point of view would be too mat- ter-of-fact ; but I cannot help thinking tha...t if the canvas had been listlessly flapping, and consequently useless as a sail, the picture would have been truer, and therefore more touching.
Gericault's other works in the Louvre are rather gigantic sketches than pictures. They all evince great power and facility, but the action is generally unnecessarily violent, and the relative proportion between man and horse not properly observed. In spite of his faults, Gericault was, however, a very great artist, and may justly be considered as the founder of the ecole rommitique, which subsequently developed itself so greatly in France.
