What reading level is Greek Buildings: Represented By Fragments in the British Museum book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A note on the memorandum in the Museum shows that the small square panels also had blue backgrounds. Indeed, this treat- ment of relief was customary. The principal sculptures and the lions also showed vestiges of colour. Newton reported that on its discovery the colossal seated figure plainly showed two colours. All the carved architectural members were painted.
The colours were ultramarine and vermilion, " or pigments equal to them in intensity." Newton says that " the system adopted seems to... have been to tone down the whole of the marble with a coat of varnish and wax, to paint all grounds of sculpture and ornament blue, and to pick out the mouldings with red." A lacunar margin -stone was found with bright blue upon it This was doubtless in the recessed channel of it At Priene, where exactly the same system of architectural coloration was followed, the recess on the soffit of the main architrave was blue, and the leaf moulding around it was picked out in red.
The capital there had a red ground to its egg-and-tongue, and blue to the leaf moulding of the abacus.
