What reading level is Michelangelo Buonarroti book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their voluptuous art, while raising the form of man to heaven, kept down the soul upon the earth. The Moses of Michel- angelo has seen God, has listened to His voice like thunder, has preserved the terrible impression of that meeting upon Sinai ; his unfathomable gaze is searching into the mysteries which he sees in prophetic vision. Is it the Moses of the Bible ? I know not. Would Praxiteles and Phidias have represented Lycurgus and Solon thus? We may boldly answer, no. The lawgiver in their h...ands would have been an embodiment of law ; they would have represented an ab- stract existence by a figure over whose harmonious beauty no change could come. Moses is not only the lawgiver of a people ; it is not thought alone which dwells beneath that powerful brow ; he feels, he suffers, he lives in a moral world to which Jehovah has admitted him, and although more than human, he is still a man. There only remain to be noticed three figures of importance which were to have formed part of the tomb of Julius IE.
