To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had Renault Uved, he would have more adequately — or should I say more plausibly? — marked the transition fi^om ro- manticism to realism. Temperamentally he was clearly a thor- ough romanticist — £u* more so, for instance, than his fiiend Fortuny, whose intellectual reserve is always conspicuous. He essayed the most vehement kind of subjects, even in the clas- sical field, where he treated them with truly romantic trucu- lence. He was himself always, moreover, and ideally cared as little for na...ture as a fitiry-story teller. In this sense he was more romantic than the romanticists. His '^Automedon," his portrait of Grcneral Prim, even his " Salome,** are wilful in a degree that is either superb or superficial, as one looks at them; but at any rate they are romantic a outrance. At the same time it was unmistakably the aspect of things rather than their significance, rather than his view of them, that appealed to him. He was farther away from the classic inspi- ration than any other romanticist of his fellows; and at the same time he cared for the external world more on its own account and less for its suggestions, than any painter of equal force before Courbet and Bastien-Lepage.
