What reading level is Pictures in Umbria book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Giotto's fine series in this Upper Church portrays the saint's history, and contains, I believe, the best work executed by the artist in the basilica ; it is much later in date than some of his other Franciscan frescoes. The painter is said to have taken as his guide Father Bonaventura's Life of St. Francis. As this writer was born during the lifetime of Francis, and was later on commissioned to write the saint's Life, his narrative may be considered reliable. The painting of the various scenes... is masterly, and the detail in the interesting events here de- picted, the architecture especially, is rendered in a very striking manner.
These frescoes are so lifelike, that they stamp yet more strongly into the mind the impression created by a visit 205 PICTURES IX UMBRIA to Assisi, the truth of the wonderful con- version and subsequent life of Francesco Bernardone.
One of the most striking incidents in this conversion is illustrated in the fourth fresco of the series, in which the saint is shown praying before the crucifix in San Damiano.
