What reading level is The Child in Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this picture, known as the 'Madonna of the Pomegranate ' (Plate xi.), the Virgin, robed in a mantle of blue, holds the child 54 THE CHILD IN ART on her right arm, while in her left hand is the symbolic pomegranate. The child's right hand is resting on this, while he gazes out of the picture with a wistful expression. Behind is a landscape partly shut off by a green curtain with a narrow red border. The loveliness of the picture baffles description ; perhaps its message is best expressed in t...he following lines : — ' Years pass and change ; mother and child remain.
Mother so proudly sad, so sadly wise.
With perfect face and wonderful calm eyes.
Full of a mute expectancy of pain : Child of whose love the mother seems so fain.
Looking far off, as if in other skies He saw the hill of crucifixion rise.
And knew the horror and would not refrain.' ^ This passing glance at the Italian art of the fifteenth century will have shown us what a marked advance had been made on the Byzantine methods and treatment of the child.
