What reading level is Rembrandt Harmensz Van Rijn book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He seems to have sought solace in the treatment of religious themes. The episodes he chose are in the main serious and touching, attuned to the gravity of his own thoughts. Two pictures in the. Louvre, dated 1648, *The Good Samaritan * and * The Supper at Emmaus," are especially remarkable in this connection. No other motives seem to have appealed so strongly to Rembrandt as these two ; of none did he produce such a variety of versions at different stages of his career. The sentiment of * The G...ood Samaritan ' was of a kind that appealed strongly to his kindly and compassionate heart. Some prescience of his own fate seems to have haunted him, lending a peculiar attraction to the episode. He, too, was destined to lie stripped and bleeding by Life's wayside, while men passed by unheeding. The example in the Louvre sums up, and surpasses, all the earlier essays which had served the master as preludes. All the world is familiar with this pathetic composition, so eloquently described and ably appreciated by Fromentin.
