What reading level is Crivelli book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Again the soft deep reds and greens are repeated in the marbles of the tomb. Opinions seem to vary as to the expression of emotion in the figures. Crowe and Cavalcaselle write: "This is a low-toned, carefully drawn piece, with some of the spirit of Alunno in it; very dramatic, especially in the crying St. John; hatched up to a good chiaroscuro in the dark passages. " Woltmann and Woermann write that Crivelli is "a master of expression, as for instance in the ' Pieta ' in the National Gallery an...d another in the Vatican. In both, the grotesqueness of the faces borders on caricature, but they are full of dramatic power, and the expression of vehement and passionate grief is most remark- able. " While Mr. Rushforth says: "Of the attendant figures, the most success- ful expression is that of the Virgin, with her mingled look of speechless sor- row and affection. The Magdalen and St. John, with open mouths and con- torted features expressive of their unrestrained outburst of grief, are neither so unaffected nor so impressive.
