What reading level is Masters in Art Leonardo Da Vinci book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No man was ever more human, more lovable, or more fascinating than this same Leonardo da Vinci. He was witty, graceful, pol- ished. His bodily strength was so great that he could bend an iron horseshoe like lead. His physical beauty was flawless, — the beauty of an Apollo. Great painter that he was, painting was but one among his splendid gifts. . . . His ideal, though it had all the purity, all the grace and perfection, of the antique, is in sentiment wholly modern. He invented, or rather he d...iscov- ered in nature, a beauty as perfect as was the beauty of Greece, and yet which has no link with it. He is the only painter who has known how to be beau- tiful without being antique. He expresses subtleties, suavities, elegancies, quite unknown to the ancients. The beautiful Greek heads are, in their ir- reproachable correctness, merely serene ; those of Leonardo are sweet, but not from any weakness of soul — rather from a sort of indulgent and benign superiority. It seems as if spirits of quite another nature than our own look out at us from his canvases, through the eye-holes of the human physical mask, with something of pitying commiseration, and something like a hint of malice.
