To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
** It is as if the social order were inverted, and some clownish fellow selected to pre- side on this highly important occasion. He knows that he is out of his place and feels more foolish for being conspicuous. The strongest and handsomest men would natu- rally be selected for carrying the idol, and the difficulty of supporting such a burden, would give rise to striking and original positions, which Tinto- retto has not failed to take advantage of. It is doubtful if Leonardo, or any other, cou...ld have im- proved on his drawing here. The originality of this group is not less than its perfection, and the figures remain still almost uninjured. There is a slight reminiscence of Michel Angelo in the drawing of the lower limbs, but this may be on account of the unusual strain which is brought upon their muscles. We admire the full-bearded man in front for his magnificent figure ; and in advance of him there is another bending over to lift the chains and jewels in the basket ; but we like still more the beardless youth, who walks behind, and is looking up at Worship of the Golden Calf.
