What reading level is Pictures in Umbria book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The other two frescoes also deal with restoration to life. Our guide said that one of the faces in these was a likeness of Giotto Bondone. In this Lower Church are many frescoes by Giotto's pupils, not- ably by Taddeo Gaddi and by Giottino, who have done very fine work on its walls. Within the chapel, beyond the Annunciation, is an interesting series of frescoes, which represent the story of St. Nicholas ; these are said to be the work of Giotto's best pupil, name unknown, some of whose work is... also in the Upper Church. The truth to nature in the conception, and the simplicity of this master's work, make the study of it most fascinating ; its breadth of treatment gives it a peace and dignity which the solemn stiffness of Cimabue fails to inspire.
Giotto must have been young when the Franciscans summoned him to 189 PICTURES IN UMBRIA adorn the walls of their basilica, for his work there is supposed to have been completed in the early years of the fourteenth century, and he was not born till 1265.
