What reading level is Materials for a History of Oil Painting 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Instead of the " white varnish," composed of nut oil and mastic, or nut oil and fir resin, he, at least occasionally, used the thickened nut oil alone.
We now come to the third member of the trium- virate before mentioned — Pietro Vanucci, called Perugino. Some of the writers who have traced the progress of this painter are unwilling, as already stated, to believe that with his habits in a great measure formed at Perugia, and probably no longer a youth when he first visited Florence, he could h...ave entered the school of Verocchio as a student.
But in Italy, and at that time, such a circumstance would excite no surprise ; the thirst for knowledge was the great stimulus — the readiest means of ac- METRO PBRUGINO. 125 quiring it the chief consideration. In any view of this question, the early friendship of Perugino and Leonardo, whether as fellow-students or not, is established on the safest authority.
Supposing Perugino to have arrived at Florence at the age of twenty-five (1471) — to allow time for his previous studies at Perugia with his first master, Bonfigli, and for some works of his own there — ^it is plain that the improved method of oil painting must have been then unknown to him.
