What reading level is Sir David Wilkie, R. A. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The meeting which Wilkie illustrated took place on the igth of January 1813. Then, as Mr. John Morley has said, the autocracy of Napoleon was powerfully chal- lenged by " the victorious fortitude of an old man who stood for a tradition and ideal in the Vatican at Rome." The Emperor exerted all his powers of persuasion to win the pontiff to his own way of thinking ; but, though they agreed on certain points, there were stipulations upon which Pope Pius sternly insisted. The writer of the biograp...hy in The Wilkie Gallery has well summarised 157 Sir David Wilkie the intrinsic elements of this picture: — "It is the contest between the two great powers, the spiritual and the military, which then divided between them the empire of Europe. That poor old man, a helpless captive in the hands of the victor of a hundred battles, yet feels himself possessed of a far mightier influence than that of brute force. . . . The painter has finely diffused over the features of the venerable pontiif this sense of inward dignity and power, as well as depicted the baffled and irritated look of Napoleon, encountered by a spirit as resolute as his own, against whom his menaces are powerless." In June of this year Wilkie was knighted.
