To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the mind can hardly picture to itself anything sobeautiful and so tremendous! There are some good pictures in the palace, too, but not soextraordinarily good as the guide-books and the guide would have usto think. The latter, like most men of his class, is an ignoramus, who showed us an Andrea del Sarto (copy or original), and called it aCorreggio, and made other blunders of a like nature. As is the case inEngland, you are hurried through the rooms without being allowed timeto look at the pictu...res, and, consequently, to pronounce a satisfactoryjudgment on them. In the Museum more time was granted me, and I spent some hours withpleasure there. It is an absurd little gallery, absurdly imitating theLouvre, with just such compartments and pillars as you see in the nobleParis gallery; only here the pillars and capitals are stucco andwhite in place of marble and gold, and plaster-of-paris busts of greatBelgians are placed between the pillars. An artist of the countryhas made a picture containing them, and you will be ashamed of yourignorance when you hear many of their names.
