What reading level is Velasquez book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is now in the gallery at Modena, having been purchased in 1843 ^s a Vandyck. It is a short half-length of the Duke, in armour, bareheaded.
The other is rather more important, being a three- quarter length, in armour, of Don Antonio Alonzo Pimentel, Count of Bonavente. This is in the Prado Gallery, now numbered 1193. It is especially interesting as showing an inclination on the part of Velasquez at this time to imitate the work of Domenico Theotocopouli, generally known as El Greco, who settl...ed in Toledo in 1575 and painted there till his death in 1614.
But more important among the pictures of his middle period — as we may call the eighteen years that elapsed between his first and second visits to Italy — is the famous Surrender of Breda, or as it is some- times called The Lances. It will be remembered that an "heroic" subject had already been painted by Velasquez, in competition with his detractors, namely, The Expulsion of the Moors. Fortunately there was still one bright spot, however insignificant, upon the The Lances 25 rusty armour of Spain, and Spinola deserv^ed to be congratulated upon the capitulation of Breda if only for the immense efforts he had made to compass it.
