What reading level is Six Greek Sculptors book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
-. I\ ALII i:\s PRAXITELES 159 remembered that 'Praxiteles made two portrait statues of Phryne which were set up, one in marble at her native town of Thespias, and the other in gilt bronze at Delphi. 'j We have no certain criteria by which these portraits or copies of them may be recognised among extant statues, and without further information as to their pose and motive, any such identification can only be conjectural ; but it has been suggested with some probability that one of the Praxitelea...n figures represent- ing a goddess or a woman at her toilet, holding a mirror in one hand and doing up her hair with the other, may be derived from the statue of Phryne. The type is one that is familiar with many variations in the sculpture that owes its inspiration to Praxiteles. The figure is standing, her drapery fixed in a coil about her waist or her hips, so as to leave the upper part of her body bare ; well-known examples are the Venus of Aries in the Louvre and the Townley Venus in the British Museum ; a beautiful example of the torso only is to be seen in Athens, and is here reproduced.
