What reading level is Siena Its Architecture And Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They had little (most probably nothing) to do with the artistic merits of the work which they accompanied, but were religious ceremonials natural enough at the inauguration of a new altar and in which the excellence of the picture was a mere incident. 40 SIENA We must pass over the immense number of painters contemporary with Duccio's later years whose names are recorded and plentiful traces of whose work can be found throughout Siena and the neighbouring towns and villages. The tradition, now ...almost entirely freed from Eastern conventions, was carried on at its best by Simone Martini (miscalled Simone Memmi for centuries, in spite of the plainest inscriptions on his pictures another mistake of Vasari's, who has so many errors, but also so many excellencies to his credit), and by the brothers Lorenzetti. Simone retains the distinctive sweetness of his predecessors and enriches it with a poetry of which he is the introducer. An enormous fresco by him in the chief hall of the Palazzo Pubblico shows us what is practically the same subject as Duccio's Maesta described above, but the distance from their common Greek prototype is now much greater.
