What reading level is Albert Durer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
97), painted as the centre panelof the altar-piece commissioned by Jacob Heller at Frankfort, wasunfortunately burnt with the palace at Munich on the night of April 9, 1674; the Elector Maximilian of Bavaria having forced or cajoled theDominicans, to whose church Heller had left it, to sell it to him. It isnow represented by a copy made by Paul Juvenal in its original position, where the almost ruined portraits of Heller and his wife are supposed tohave been partly Duerer's, though the other pa...nels are obviously the workof assistants. This work exists for us in a series of magnificent brushdrawings in black and white line on grey paper, rather than in the copy, and we can in a measure imagine its appearance by the perfectly-preserved _Trinity and All Saints_ commenced immediately afterit for Matthew Landauer, and now in the Imperial Gallery at Vienna. Nothing can surpass this last picture in elaboration and finish; thecolour, if not beautiful, is rich and luminous; and though it isseparate faces and draperies which chiefly delight the eye, thecomposition of the whole is an adequate adaptation of the traditionaltreatment for such themes which had been handed down through the middleages.
