What reading level is Botticelli book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
69). Rippling billows play gently round the fragile craft ; Venus stands on the edge of it, modestly covering her bosom with her hand. A wonderful wealth of golden hair floats round the Goddess, and her handmaiden, one of the Hours, holds a mantle spread to cover her, sprinkled all over with flowers of spring.
This figure, of which the Berlin Museum possesses a weak repetition, has been justly praised as the most beautiful Venus in modern art; there is, perhaps, one picture with which it may be... compared, and that is Giorgione's "Sleeping Venus" at Dresden. The purity of soul which dwells in the chaste and beautiful body of a perfect woman is depicted there with the same charm. The picture speaks to us like a story of the golden age of Saturn, which Marsilio Ficino has described in such glowing colours in his letters; the spectator feels almost an intruder, as he stands before it, witnessing one of the sacred mysteries, hidden in the marvellous book of Nature. The action is represented with so much truth, the virginal charm of the goddess , drawing her first breath , is so lifelike , the alacrity of her 86 ministrants is so irresistible, that we seem to hear the tremulous rustle of the laurel-grove, the gentle plash of the waves, and eagerly await the moment when the daughter of the foam will step ashore.
