What reading level is On Imitative Art: Its Principles And Progress; With Preliminary Remarks On Beauty, Sublimity, And Taste book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is a very gross instance in his fresco in the An- nunziata at Florence, of the death of S. Philip. The dead boy, who is brought to life by the touch of the saint's bier, is doubly represented, first as lying dead, and then as springing into life. It may be said that painting has no other way of showing such an event.
Allowed : but in that case the painter should avoid such a subject, and not trench upon the province of the poet or historian. The same thing is rather better done in the fre...sco, just mentioned, of the son of Theophilus, where his death is indicated by a skull and bones. The same piece of Del Sarto, though beautifully painted, has also another and perhaps greater fault in presenting two subjects. Most of the assistants are occupied with the dying saint, whilst the attention of those in the fore- ground is engrossed by the reviving boy. Thus the unity of the subject is destroyed, and the spectator knows not whether he is called upon to witness the saint's death, or the miracle which ensued upon it.
