What reading level is Dutch Painting in the Nineteenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is a painted soul. Whenever I went past her, I used involuntarily to say, *Liebes Kind! ' . . . . A silent tear rolls down the pretty cheek, a dumb tear of melancholy. " The women especially doted on Ary Scheffer, so much so that it became an act of courage to publish any hostile comment on his work. They recognized the heart in the painter and fell into ecstasies over his sensitive and emotional nature. " Une larme aux yeux ne men t jamais y** says Alfred de Musset; and the somewhat feminin...e Scheffer, the man of sentiment, the man grown up in the mutual cult of mother and son, the man who never really knew what it was to be young, the man of melancholy poetic ideas, passionless and devoid of real sorrow, was just the man to draw that tear. He understood the emotional side of painting; what he lacked was technical knowledge. And yet, notwithstanding his deficiency in that pictorial quality which we Dutch regard as the one and only essential of good painting, notwithstanding the feeble sentiment and often somewhat barren lines of his pictures, this painter of mixed Dutch and German origin, brought up from his childhood under the great French masters of romanticism, has always represented to us an important talent.
