What reading level is Palaces And Courts of the Exposition a Handbook of the Architecture Sculpture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
ARCHITECT Henry Bacon of New York.
Architecture Italian Renaissance.
There is a strong feeling of the architectural in- fluence of Hadrian's Villa, near Rome, when the eye rests on the half dome and also on the treat- ment of the columns in front of the fountains of the seasons.
This is one of the chief beauty spots of the Ex- position. A quiet, reposeful, happy place where 103 PALACES AND COURTS OP THE EXPOSITION birds have built their nests and where they sing their carols of spring.
As you p...ass into this court from the bay, or north side, your attention is drawn almost imme- diately to the bucrania, or bulls' heads, between festoons of flowers.
This is only a Renaissance motive, but the mind wanders back to the harvest festivals of olden days, when, after the great harvest procession was over, the bulls were sacrificed to the gods as a reward for the abundant harvest. The same idea is worked out in "The Feast of the Sacrifice, " the magnificent bull groups atop the pylons (by Albert Jaegers), where youths and maidens lead the bulls in the harvest procession.
