What reading level is The Glory of Belgium book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Charles is clad in armour ; at his feet lie his helmet and gauntlets. His remains were conveyed here on September 20, 1550, from Nancy by the direction of his grandson, Philip IL, who in 1558 erected the monument which was the work of Jonghelinck. The small but choice collection, in the Academic des Beaux- Arts, contains some pictures that were formerly in the now demolished Cathedral of St. Donatian and other churches of Bruges. The altarpiece, by Jan van Eyck, was commissioned by George van d...er Palen for the high altar of St. Donatian. The portrait of the donor on the right — an elderly priest with puffy face, holding his dumpy little office-book and eyeglasses in his cramped old hands — is excellent. The figure of St. Donatian, in a handsome cope, is also fine ; but the 37 THE GLORY OF BELGIUM Child and His Mother are not very attractive, neither is the St. George, who smiles feebly, standing behind Van der Palen, and presents him to Our Lady. The archi- tecture, the throne on which the Virgin is seated, the garments, the carpet and flooring, are details put in most carefully, and very characteristic of the painter's method.
