What reading level is Greek Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Scenes from jjpily {jfe form a large proportion of the subjects on these vases, but many of them are of a purely fanciful and meaningless character, the commonest type being that of a young man and a woman exchanging presents of fruit, toilet-boxes, or other objects. They are more akin to the designs on Dresden china or the Watteau figures of the eighteenth century.
Many vases of this period, especially those of large size, were, as already noted, obviously designed expressly for funeral purpos...es. Some of these bear representations of the Under- world, with numerous groups of figures, such as Pluto and Persephone, Herakles and Cerberus, Orpheus and Eurydice, or Furies Digitized by VaOOQ IC GREEK VASES 167 administering punishments. On others we have representations of shrines or tombs, sometimes with effigies of the deceased in them, at which the relatives make offerings and libations, as on the Athenian lekythu The worship of the dead, as here indicated, seems to have been universal among the Greeks, About the end of the third century the manufacture of painted vases would seem to have been rapidly dying out in Italy, as had long been the case elsewhere, and their place is taken by unpainted vases modelled in the form of animals and human figures, or orna- mented with stamped and moulded reliefs, which in their turn give way to the plainer Arretine or so-called Samian wares of the Roman period.
