What reading level is Six Lectures On Painting Delivered to the Students of the Royal Academy of Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is for this reason, I think, that the art of Velasquez specially appeals to us. In it the ordinary aspects of nature are found to be not inconsistent with the finest art. There is nothing conventional in his colour. It is simply like that On Colour 63 of nature, and I think that none but artists, or those who have studied the appearance of nature, can quite understand the intense admiration his work excites. It is not, as in the case of Titian and the colourists, an emotion produced by colou...r, as colour, taking us beyond our ordinary sensa- tions ; but it gives us something of the pleasure of a surprise, in finding and recognising that such beautiful modulations of colour are apparent under ordinary conditions. Velasquez is some- times, perhaps rightly, called unemotional, be- cause his colour is not prearranged to influence us, but is, as it were, an impartial statement, as con- trasted with the work of those painters who pushed the emotional power of colour to its extreme limit.
As I hope to consider the work of Velasquez later, I will not touch further on it now, but may mention one or two men of kindred spirit.
