What reading level is The Work of Botticelli book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is so terribly afraid of the conseqences of his folly, and yet, as he glances up obliquely at his lovely vanquisher, he appears to hnd some relief and hope in her gracious face, with its mingled expression of amused contempt and pity. This noble work remained in the possession of the Medici family for many generations, but was lost sight of in the seventeenth century, to be discovered in our time hidden away in a loft of the Pitti Palace. It has now resumed its place amongst the gems of that... wonderful collection which the Medician and Lorenese Grand Dukes of Tuscany bequeathed to the Italian nation. Although Botticelli's celebrated picture representing " Spring. " and popularlv known as " La Primavera, " in the Uffizi, was painted, like all Sandro's work, in tempera, and has consequently lost in the process of time, much of its freshness, sufficient of its intrinsic beauty remains to rivet attention and stimulate imagination to a high degree of aesthetic tension. The background of deep green trees, glistening with ripe oranges, hanging like so many golden globes against the dark foliage, is broken b\- glimpses of the deep azure of an Italian sky.
