What reading level is Sir Henry Raeburn book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It would be of the greatest artistic interest if we could only tell how Raeburn employed his time while in Rome ; for in the two years of his sojourn there he transformed himself from a decent second-rate artist to a portrait painter, who, so far as England is concerned, was indisputably in the first rank. The only facts given are that he made no copies, and took the advice of his friend Byers, never to paint what was not actually before him.
When, many years afterwards, Wilkie went to Spain, h...e professed to be struck by the great resemblance between Velasquez and Raeburn. Wilkie, of course, did not mean either style or handling in these there is no parallel but that directness and symplicity which characterises both artists. On this remark, however, a theory has been built up that Raeburn formed his style from the single fine Velasquez he saw at Rome. Unless Raeburn was artistically blind he must have seen and studied this portrait. He SIR HENRY RAEBURN, R. A.
may even have been influenced by it ; but, in the one thing he can possibly have taken from it, he bettered the instruction.
