What reading level is Lives of the Most Eminent Painters Sculptors Architects of the Order of St D book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This, indeed, is a work as worthy of a great philosopher as it SCULPTORS, AND ARCHITECTS. 215 is of the Angelic painter : a work that reminds us of the Theban Aristides, who boasted that he could paint the soul and its passions. It proves, however, that Fra Gio- vanni had begun to adopt the improvements which were introduced into art at this period in Florence. The figures in this composition are remarkable for flowing drapery, as also for the expression of the heads, not to speak of the relief... and great power of the design. I must observe, however, that I am not satisfied with the extremities, in which there is a negligence not unusual to him; nevertheless, whenever he wished he removed such blemishes. Let us advert, too, that this work bears evident marks of retouching ; and what is still worse, the primitive ground, which may have been azure, was removed and substituted (when and by whom I have not been able to discover) by one of glaring red, which has injured the outlines of the figures.
