To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We might say of him that he is the SHAKESPEARE of art ; he has the great author's majesty of conception, his art of painting a character in a few strokes, and his power of color. That which interests him is the drama of all epochs, of every literature and of every place. The Bark of Dante is only the first step, to which succeed those memorable masterpieces, The Scio Massacres, Tasso Among the Madmen, The Assassination of the Bishop of Liege, The Amende Honorable, Jacob Wrestling with the Angel..., The Bark of Christ, Hamlet and the Gravedigger, The Morocco Coast, The Barricade, The Death of Sardanapalus little imports the subject. Whether he dip in profane or sacred history, in his- torical anecdote or in the life of the wild beast, it is the drama and always the drama which thrills in his magnificent canvases, which inspires and overcomes us in the contemplation of his works ; the drama which shakes the soul because we feel that the soul of the great painter is in it ; he overthrows us by the sublimity of the pre- sentment, the energy of the execution, the magic of his color.
