What reading level is Renaissance in Italy: the Fine Arts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The art of Perugino, for example, throws but little light upon the Renaissance taken as a whole.
Intrinsically valuable because of its technical perfec^ tion and its purity of sentiment, it was already in the painter's lifetime superseded by a larger and a grander manner. The progressive forces of the modern style found their channels outside him.
This again is true of Francesco Raibolini, surnamed Francia from his master in the goldsmith's craft Francia is known to Englishmen as one of the mos...t sincerely pious of Christian painters by his incom- parable picture of the Dead Christ in our National Gallery. The spirituality that renders Fra Angelico unintelligible to minds less ecstatically tempered than his own is not found in such excess in Francia, nor does his work suffer from the insipidity of Perugino's affectation. Deep religious feeling is combined with physical beauty of the purest type in a masterpiece of tranquil grace. A greater degree of naivete and naturalness compensates for the inferiority of Fran- cia's to Perugino's supremely perfect handling.
