What reading level is Sir Joshua Reynolds book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Below is a series ofseven panels, containing the figures of Faith, Hope, and Charity, andthe four cardinal virtues--Temperance, Justice, Fortitude, andPrudence.
This plan of subjects was made by Reynolds early in 1778, to meet anorder from New College, Oxford, for a window design to be executed fortheir chapel. Hope was one of the first figures that he painted, andin 1779 he was ready to exhibit, at the Royal Academy, the Nativity, with Faith, Hope, and Charity.
The three fundamental elements o...f Christian character have beenassociated together ever since the fifteenth chapter of firstCorinthians was written. Artists and poets have had a fashion ofpersonifying them as allegorical figures. Certain symbols have evenbeen invented to correspond to each--the cross for faith, the anchorfor hope, and the heart for charity. Thus the imagination has beencalled to the aid of religion in impressing Christian teaching.
Reynolds tried to put into this figure the various qualities whichmake up our thought of hope.
