What reading level is The Sculpture of the West a Lecture Delivered At the Metropolitan Museum of Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This divergence of influences need not surprise us in a pilgrimage church.
The relationship of the first master to Lombardy indeed appears to be more striking than it really is. The inscrip- tions on the scrolls of the prophets are the same as those on the scrolls of the prophets of Guglielmo and Nicolo. The quotations come originally from a pseudo-Augustine sermon, from which Guglielmo doubtless took them. From this sermon, which must have enjoyed great popularity, they passed into a miracle p...lay of the prophets composed at Limoges towards the end of the XI century, and from the miracle play to the sculptures of Notre Dame la Grande. The presence at Poitiers of Nebuchadnezzar proves that the inscriptions of Notre Dame are taken from the play rather than from the work of Guglielmo, for Guglielmo does not introduce this character. It is worthy of remark that the Isaiah of Moissac also appears with a scroll bearing the same text. It is impossible to trace any direct connection between Moissac and Poitiers or Cremona.
