What reading level is Modelling And Sculpture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sicilian marble is used for exterior purposes, especially in a country like ours, where the climatic effects are so disastrous as to make the finer statuary marbles crumble away in no time.
The reason for this marble being called Sicilian by the English is, I believe, unknown, though it is thought by some that it derived this name Sicilian perhaps because it was formerly shipped to Sicily and thence to an English port.
The choicest marble of all for ideal work, the nude or portraiture, for inte...rior purposes, is Serravezza, though there is a Greek marble called Peritelic which is preferred by some sculptors ; this marble, which is found in the island of Paros and at Mount Pentelicus, has larger crystals than the statuary of Carrara, is extremely hard, and does not, I think, cut quite so 250 MARBLE CARVING freely as the beautiful marble of Serravezza. Pentelic was chiefly used by the ancient sculptors for their work. There are other qualities of marble, but those I have named are generally accepted as the "first" best.
