What reading level is The Art of Painting in the Nineteenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A man needs the opportunity of taking over as a whole, 92 THE ART OF PAINTING so to speak, the achievements of his predecessors. The earlier in life this opportunity offers itself, the easier it is to grasp it. Copley went abroad for the first time when he was about forty years of age, and it was then that he first saw master- pieces in sufficient quantities. His work, there- fore, falls into two classes, — the portraits of his youth in America and those of his maturity in England. The latter v...ery properly belong to British art, for Copley was born a British subject and left America before her political independ- ence was recognized.
His American portraits are wonderful products of a faithful rendering of nature. The artistic intentions which in grouping, posing, color, and brushwork made the canvases of Reynolds, Gains- borough, and even Copley himself, in his later years, such charming bits of independent reali- ties had little place in his early works. These were national and historical records.
