What reading level is The Unknown Masterpiece book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
to achieve that glorious result I havestudied the works of the great masters of color, stripping off coatafter coat of color from Titian's canvas, analyzing the pigments of theking of light. Like that sovereign painter, I began the face in a slighttone with a supple and fat paste--for shadow is but an accident; bearthat in mind, youngster!--Then I began afresh, and by half-tones andthin glazes of color less and less transparent, I gradually deepened thetints to the deepest black of the stronges...t shadows. An ordinary paintermakes his shadows something entirely different in nature from the highlights; they are wood or brass, or what you will, anything but fleshin shadow. You feel that even if those figures were to alter theirposition, those shadow stains would never be cleansed away, those partsof the picture would never glow with light.
"I have escaped one mistake, into which the most famous painters havesometimes fallen; in my canvas the whiteness shines through the densestand most persistent shadow.
