What reading level is Our Homeland Churches And How to Study Them book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The windows were now essentially pictures, works in which the ornamental portions were subordinate to the principal subject, and in con- struction no less than in style, they differ greatly from the Gothic examples. The mosaic-enamel method attained its greatest perfection in Italy, where Florence was the seat of the art, which was practised by such painters as Donatello, and Lorenzo Ghiberti. The facility for pictorial effect given by the enamel colours led to an almost entire disuse of colour...ed glass. It was in this method that Reynolds' famous window at New College, Oxford, was painted by Jarvis, and West's windows at Windsor by Jarvis and Forrest. The enamel colours gave the painter a comprehensive palette ; but they were more or less opaque, so that the first requirement of a window — the ad- mission of light — was neglected. The ease with which the enamel pigments could be used caused painted windows to become the fashion, with the result that they eventually became mere imitations and frequently copies of oil-paintings.
