What reading level is Stories of the French Artists From Clouet to Delacroix book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His first lessons were given by a drawing- master in his native town. Details of his early life are almost entirely wanting, but it is known that a disgraceful incident in connection with a young girl, who had come from Sens, and the resulting scandal caused Latour to precipi- tately quit Saint-Quentin and to go first to Rheims and afterwards to Cambray. The un- pleasant experience he had just passed through, if we can believe the following anecdote, did LATOUR AND PERRONNEAU 155 not deter him ...from getting himself into an embarrassing situation in Cambray. Here he made love to the wife of a shopkeeper. The husband, naturally very angry, forbade him the house. A suggestion was then made by the lady and acted on by Latour, who did not suspect that his friend might be acting in collusion with her jealous and revengeful husband. She pro- posed that Latour should be hauled up to her window in a basket. The artist, in his eagerness, fell into the trap, and was accord- ingly pulled up in the basket, but when it was half-way between the street and the window it stopped, and he was left there all night.
