What reading level is Meissonier book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

His drawing is composed of equal parts of as- tonishingly clear and accurate vision and of deep scientific acquirement. It is not the drawing of the great stylists, the masters of beautiful and signifi- cant line, but it is marvelously forceful and just. The drawing of Ter Borch is equally accurate, but seems to have no formula, no method, no ascertain- able knowledge behind it. It seems unconscious and naive in a way which that of Meissonier never approaches. Finally, in color and in the manag...e- ment of light, Meissonier cannot be compared to any one of half-a-dozen Dutch painters. His tone is almost always a little foxy, his handling a little dry. Sometimes in interiors with only one or two figures his realistic force of imitation of that which was before him almost carried him to a fine ren- dering even of light and color. He had built his picture before he painted it, and had only to copy what was directly under his eye, and he did this so well as almost to become a colorist and a luminist.
