What reading level is A Wanderer in London book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For the pur- poses of quiet study at home it is excellent, a model of its kind ; but in the gallery it is a vexation, especially as it often happens that the painter is catalogued under his less-known name. I propose to consider the pictures as one comes to them in a walk through the Gallery from room to room in numerical order.
Entering Room I — dedicated to the Tuscan School — the first picture on which the eye will probably rest is in some ways the most remarkable picture in the gallery, Bro...nzino's Allegory, " Venus, Cupid, Time and Folly " (No. 651). You will seek in vain in the other rooms for anything so vivid, so exultantly masterly, so brilliant in drawing, as this. Its preservation is marvellous : it must be just as alive as it was when three and a half centuries ago Bronzino painted it. Beautiful in the highest sense it is not: the bodies are too restless and exaggerated in pose ; its greatness lies in the drawing, the sense of power, and the joyous vitality of it all. For another side of this painter's genius — his quiet sympathetic painting of men and women — look at No.
