What reading level is Rubens book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
CHAPTER VI DEATH OF RUBENS But Rubens' fame had made him too conspicuous for it to be possible for him to keep completely out of public life in the peaceful intimacy of his family.
There was an ancient custom in Flanders, when the province received its emperors or archdukes, Charles V or Prince Albert, to offer them as a tribute of welcome an exhibition of its riches and its art, of all that made the glory of its cities. Though much fallen from its former prosperity Antwerp was still, and under... the reign of Rubens more than ever, the holy city of sculptors and painters, and when, after the death of Isabella, the King of Spain, Philip IV, sent his brother, the Archduke Ferdinand, to govern the Low Countries, the latter had hardly ar- rived at Brussels before the magistrates of Ant- werp invited him to visit their city. The reception which he received surpassed in splendour any which the people of Antwerp had ever given to anyone.
For months they had worked at constructing l64 RUBENS triumphal arches adorned with paintings and statues along the route which the new archduke must fol- low.
