What reading level is The Art of the Low Countries Studies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Although this rhythm prevails all through the picture it is most effective in the figures that can be separately considered, Delilah and the Landsknecht. And this seems natural when we remember that this particular kind of rhythm is merely a result of that tendency to individual characterization which succeeds best with detached figures. As in Rembrandt's com- positions each figure reluctantly sacrifices its person- ality in the interest of the whole, his representations of crowds are often con...fused in effect, as is here the case in a small way with the group of soldiers around Sam- son. It needs a search to discover to which figures in this tangle the various limbs belong. It is possible, indeed, that the artist made his soldiers somewhat alike in type and in costume in order to give the group an inner coherence, and perhaps he needed a certain confusion to augment the horror of the scene. Yet it cannot be denied that the most impressive figures are the two that are detached, Delilah and the Landshiechty whereas with Rubens the figures that are separated from the mass are often weak in effect because insufficiently individualized.
