What reading level is The Fine Arts; a Manual book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not however like mould- ings and similar features, a necessary outcome of structure or material, but bears to the building the relation of a separable accident. That ornament can be dispensed with, is proved by those existing monuments which produce the full effect of archi- tecture without any aid of the kind. The Greek temple at Paestum exhibits now no ornament or polychrome decoration ; yet it is one of the most perfectly satisfying structures to the architectural sense that the world ...has to show. The church of St. Front at Pdrigueux in western France is a conspicuous medieval example. The work of Sir Christopher Wren, again, owes practically nothing to ornament.
Ornament, on the other hand, though it may be classed with colour as not essential to architectural effect, is of higher value than colour as an artistic adjunct. It is a feature of especial moment as an aid to the ex- pression of a building, and may help more than any part of it to make its character and human significance intelligible.
