What reading level is Siena, the Story of Mediaeval Commune book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Prudence and THE ARTISTIC SPIRIT 325 Magnanimity, to the sovereign's right and left, are hardly inferior to her. A very decorative touch, char- acteristically Sienese, is supplied by the long, massed lances of the armed men; in fact, wherever the eye falls, it encounters some feature of delight. The color is a chapter by itself; applied with the greatest delicacy, it acquires against a quiet background of deep blue a glow and fusion worthy of Simone.
The brothers Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti,... car- ried off their feet by the example of Giotto, and trying, with questionable success,* their hand at allegory and dramatic narrative, were unsurpassed in their day when they undertook altar-pieces in the meditative spirit and of the decorative quality traditional in their city. Pietro's triptych in the Opera del Duomo, repre- senting the Birth of the Virgin, and the much suppler and gayer Ambrogio's many small madonnas — one at Sant' Eugenio outside Porta San Marco, another at San Francesco, a third in the Galleria, this last particularly fine with a bower of angels and four kneeling bishops — are wonderfully intimate revelations of fourteenth cen- tury feeling.
