What reading level is Imaginary Portraits book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is the sign of this sort of promptitude that he values solely in the work of another. To my thinking there is a kind of greed or grasping in that humour ; as if things were not to last very long, and one must snatch opportunity. And often he suc- ceeds. The old Dutch painter cherished with a kind of piety his colours and pencils. Antony Watteau, on the contrary, will hardly make any preparations for his work at all, or even clean his palette, in the dead-set he makes at impro- visation. 'Tis... the contrast perhaps between the staid Dutch genius and the petulant, sparkling French temper of this new era, into which he has thrown himself. Alas ! it is already A PRINCE OF COURT PAINTERS 3?
apparent that the result also loses something of longevity, of durability — the colours fading or changing, from the first, somewhat rapidly, as Jean-Baptiste notes. Tis true, a mere trifle alters or produces the expression. But then, on the other hand, in pictures the whole effect of which lies in a kind of harmony, the treachery of a single colour must needs involve the failure of the whole to outlast the fleeting grace of those social conjunctions it is meant to per- petuate.
