What reading level is Looking At Pictures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Look at his Mars and Venus (N. G. 915), and ask yourself what you get from it. Play with its quaint conceits, like that of the hornet's nest that must be disturbed when Mars awakes, or of the thoughtless mischief of the baby satyrs who risk the catastrophe by blowing noisy conch-shells around him, and playing at battle with his helm and lance ; it is all very pretty, and the spirit of it is all a little restless and fretful, like the spirit of the painter himself. But when all is said and done ...it is just beauty and no more, and it aims at no more. It has no soul.
But, given a whole generation of painters striving after beauty, working with all their mind and hand for the mastery of craft so as to be capable of handling " difficult conceits, " you are sure of one thing, and that is that when a genius arises he will be well equipped the craft that they have built up for him will become tremendous in his hands.
And when Leonardo da Vinci began his wonder- ful career under the guidance of Verrocchio, the craft was there, and only needed using.
