What reading level is The Old Rome And the New And Other Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Without any intellectual dignity, it shows an executive power and excellence of method which no painter of our time can equal; and, even in work absolutely unassignable to any known painter, we find examples of such a thorough mastery of the material and power of hand as would give any living painter distinct precedence in modern art.
It is no answer to these statements to say that ovu' age does not want what past ages demanded and accepted as the best; that Titian's work would not find purchas...ers if done to-day; and that no one would go to see the Sistine Chapel if a living painter had painted it — the fact re- mains that no one to-day can do the work of THE DECAY OF ART 175 Titian even with Titian's doing of it before him, and that no man living can match a study of Michael Angelo for one of his figures, not to speak of his Sistine Chapel.
I wiU not go back to Greek sculpture, whose supremacy no one contests, but only to that lovely and faithful dream of it which came with the Italian Renaissance in the works of the Pisani, Mino Da Fiesole, Donatello, Michael Angelo, Giovanni da Bologna, all men who had caught the spirit of Greek art however much they faltered and wavered in giving it form, and challenge the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries to show us anything born of the same heaven and earth.
