What reading level is Sketches of the History of Christian Art volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' ' 242 GIOTTO Letter IV.
his residence and employment at the Papal court of Avignon.
The date of this visit may be fixed, I think, in 1323 or 1324, before which time the palace in which he painted could hardly have been ready for his pencil. * He executed many works there, of which della Scala, and at Ferrara for the D' Estes, whence, invited through the recommendation of Dante, he went to Ravenna. If this last statement be true, it must have been in 1320 or 1321, when Dante was resident there.... But if the frescoes now shown at Ravenna as Giotto's be really his, they belong to a much earlier period. See note, p. 180 supra. — Vasari cites a picture at Lucca, as painted for Castruccio Castracani in 1322; it is said to be still preserved, intact, in the Liceo.
* Vasari asserts that Giotto was taken to Avignon by Clement V. , and that he returned to Italy in 1316. Giotto might have paid a first visit to Avignon in or after 1309, the year Pope Clement settled there, but in that case he must have returned thither many years afterwards, in the reign of John XXII.
