What reading level is Seven Discourses On Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That this is not a necessaryattendant on oil-painting, we have abundant instances in more modernpainters. Lodovico Caracci, for instance, preserved in his works in oilthe same spirit, vigour, and correctness, which he had in fresco. I haveno desire to degrade Raffaelle from the high rank which he deservedlyholds: but by comparing him with himself, he does not appear to me to bethe same man in oil as in fresco.
From those who have ambition to tread in this great walk of the art, Michael Angelo c...laims the next attention. He did not possess so manyexcellences as Raffaelle, but those he had were of the highest kind. Heconsidered the art as consisting of little more than what may be attainedby sculpture, correctness of form, and energy of character. We ought notto expect more than an artist intends in his work. He never attemptedthose lesser elegancies and graces in the art. Vasari says, he neverpainted but one picture in oil, and resolved never to paint another, saying it was an employment only fit for women and children.
