What reading level is Michelangelo As a Sculptor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is great because in the vaulting of the Sistine Chapel he recreated the prophets and the sibyls, and impressed them with all the nobility of his own soul. He is great, above all, through his suffering. In the presence of those strange figures of the Medici tombs we hear that cry which man would ever fain stop his ears against, and yet perforce must always listen to hear, the cry of suffering of the human soul. . . .
If through Michelangelo's varied work we seek to spell out the mind which co...nceived it, and seek therein the dominant note, it seems to me that we shall find it to be an immense pride. From such a pride would flow the ex- pression of power, the moral and physical sovereignty of his Virgins, his ' David, ' his ' Victory, ' and all the figures of the Sistine ; and as a correla- tive quality, the rebellion, the revolt, the mighty resistance, which we find in the ' Bound Captive, ' the ' Day, ' and the ' Moses. ' To such a pride, also, we may trace the sources of that great suffering (so deeply are the souls of men of genius susceptible to wounds) which cries out of the 'Dawn, ' the 'Twilight, ' the 'Descent from the Cross, ' and the 'Last Judgment' suf- ferings of which the ultimate result is profound misanthropy, disgust with life, and the imperious desire " to see no more, to feel no more.
