What reading level is The Altoviti Aphrodite book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though he was far from throwing tradition to the winds, and though he often seems to follow Polykleitos and his own elder brother, Kephisodotos, yet he left a deep stamp of his own indi- viduality on Greek sculpture.
Cicero speaks of Praxitelean heads, Praxitelia capita.
There was something in the pose, shape and expression of the heads of his statues which clearly marked them from those of other sculptors of and near his time. This personal trait makes it possible to distinguish copies of lost... originals, in which the copyist has utterly failed to approach the master, from other copies after other men.
The Aphrodite of Aries, the Artemis of Gabii, the Apollo Lizard-killer and Lykian Apollo in the Louvre, the Artemis of Kition at Vienna, the head of Aphrodite at Toulouse, the Aphrodite of Knidos and the Eros of Thespiai at the Vatican, and the Satyr at Rest in the Capitoline Museum at Rome, are copies which owe their attribution Digitized by Google Digitized by Google THE ALTOVITI APHRODITE 8j to Praxiteles largely to the pensive droop of the head, a peculiar modeling of the under eyelids, the disposition of the hair and the modeling of the forehead, at least in those male heads which do not represent boys.
