What reading level is The Ideals of Painting book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even Van Eyck's Virgin faces are often the least interesting and the least significant in the pictures in which they appear and are far outdistanced in authority by the subordinate personages in the scene whose unrestrained and searching portraiture carries a higher sense of conviction. Indeed it is hardly too much to say that in the whole range of German and Flemish art there is scarcely a single female face of haunting and memorable beauty. Exquisite beauty these painters can often command be...auty both of spirit and expression but it is never so directed or inspired as completely to re- mould the material chosen for its utterance. This defect certain critics have taken as an index of the presence of higher qualities of another kind. While its existence is conceded it is justified by a claim on behalf of Flemish painters to a spirit of deeper and more searching veracity than the professors of other schools could boast. The attainment of perfect beauty in the type is held to involve a corresponding sacrifice of truth, such a sacrifice as the painters of Flanders, in their unswerving loyalty to nature, were not disposed to make.
