What reading level is The Story of the Art of Building book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
internal quadrangle the Renaissance forms are more evident, mingled with the Gothic pointed arches.
In the delightful little church of S. Maria dei Miracoli, one of the earliest examples of the new style, we see the influence of Byzantine tradition.
This influence is suggested, externally, in the cupola and the semicircular roof and pediment, 1 68 STORY OF THE ART OF BUILDING.
all of which would seem to be borrowed from the neighbouring S. Mark's. Inside, the walls are incrusted with an inlay o...f coloured marbles.
The fagades of the school of S. Mark, and of S. Zaccaria, show features manifestly borrowed from the same source.
Under the strong influences of the Byzantine, and of the characteristic Venetian Gothic, we find, as would be expected, a great divergence from the Florentine model in the Renaissance palaces, which are chiefly found along the banks of the "finest curved street in the world,*' the Grand Canal. The Spinelli Palace is a good type of the Venetian building. Here the fafade has three well-defined stories, crowned by a bold cornice.
