What reading level is The Life, Studies, And Works of Benjamin West, Esq. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"The masters of the Bolognese school going to Rome and other parts ofItaly, their successors at Bologna contented themselves by retailing theseveral manners of the three Carracci--Guido, Domenichino and Guercino. This system of retailing continued to descend from master to pupil, untilthe school of Bologna sunk into irrecoverable imbecility.
"The most esteemed work in painting by Augustine Carracci is the Communionof St. Jerom. It possesses grandeur of style, is bold in execution, andthe faces ...are not deficient in the appropriate expression of sensibilitytowards the object before them. It was on the composition of this picture, that Domenichino formed his on the same subject, so much celebrated as tobe considered next in merit to Raphael's Transfiguration. But fine as itis admitted to be, we must say, as a borrowed idea, it lessens the meritof the artist's originality of mind.
"The finest picture by Guido is in a church at Genoa, where he has broughtto a focus all the force of his powers in grace and beauty, with anexpression and execution of pencil rarely to be met with in art.
