What reading level is Wonders of European Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They possessed a high and even proud ideal, a logical conception making consequences flow from principle, and an extensive and accurate know- ledge. Where should the science of archaeology be found, if not in the country of Niebuhr and Muller ? Monstrous anachronisms must be left to Titian, Veronese, Rubens, and Rembrandt, and errors of geography to Shakespeare and Cervantes. And yet, has the modern eclectic school of art been more happy in its attempt than the ancients were in the time of the ...Antonines ? It seems to me that it must be confessed that the faith of this school was greater than its works. Happily, German art has not persisted in this blind alley where progress was impossible. The school of Diisseldorf, from MM. Kaulbach and Lessing to M. Knaus, and the school of Munich, with MM. Piloty, Adam, Horschelt, Lier, etc. , by returning to picturesque truth have returned to their own times and to their own country. CHAPTER III. SCHOOLS OF THE LOW COUNTRIES. When writing a work on the 3Ivsees d' Europe, in which it was necessary to have as much clearness and diversity as possible, and to make use of every divi- sion at all allowable, I could never make up my mind to separate absolutely the Flemish from the Dutch school.
