What reading level is Architecture East And West; a Collection of Essays Written At Various Times During the Last Sixteen Years book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At Angouleme is, I think, the first dome in which the ashlar work was sufficiently well wrought to dispense with a plaster coating.
I now come to the second portion of my evidence, that which is shown in the capitals and other decorative accessories of the building. De Verneilh lays great stress on their Byzantine character, and his beautiful engravings would seem to bear out his contention. The influence of Byzantine art in Europe is a subject to which for some years I have devoted a considera...ble portion of my leisure time, and I selected Perigueux with the express object of continuing my researches into the Byzantine influence in early French work. So far as Saint- Front was concerned, the result was absolutely nil ; not only is there no Byzantine feeling in the capitals, but there is even less than is found in other buildings of the twelfth century, and, so far as earlier periods are concerned, the contrast is all the more striking; for, curious to note, notwithstanding the superabun- dance of Roman work found throughout the South of France, the artists of the end of the tenth century and nearly the whole of the eleventh century seemed to prefer the interlaced patterns and the v- section leaves of the Byzantine school.
