What reading level is Venice As An Art City book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the steps below the people are swarming, hemmed in and shepherded by stately horsemen. The hall itself is resplendent with the most wonderful types of noble Venetian female beauty, surrounded by Venetian Nobili and ambassadors from the Orient. On high, amidst golden clouds, the deified abstract virtues and forces of the Venetian State are floating — the Art of Government, Commerce, Agriculture, Valour, &c. — partly symbolised by women in superb nudity, while, over all, the sublime Venezia si...ts enthroned, in gold-embroidered garments of state. Her proud, commanding, and yet graceful THE DUCAL PALACE 43 carriage breathes the whole consciousness of power of the sea-ruling Republic.
A glance into the Sala del Scruttnio (Voting Hall), in order to see the Triumphal Arch which a grateful Venice erected in 1624 to the Doge Francesco Morosini, who had reconquered the Peloponnesus, and then a hasty visit to the former private apartments of the Doge, now the Museo Archeologico^ which contains some glorious antique sculptures, and we have done with the Ducal Palace — for the present.
