What reading level is Sistine Chapel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

A just sentence 30 of crucifixion is represented here on the ceiling. And yet Michelangelo knows how to make us sympathize with the rascal. There is always a certain grandeur in the destruction of a flourishing strong life. The executioner looks at the wild con- vulsions with the unconcern of the Oriental; he is sure of giving him the finishing stroke not very soon. For a moment we cast a glance into Oriental despotism. This is a scene of bloodshed from the most wicked book of the Bible.

...y, the brazen serpent of Moses, the aspect of which grants healing from the serpent's bite; a miraculous subject not easily represented. Michelangelo shows, on the right, the throng of the wounded in accordance to Dante's In- ferno 24, 91 &c. , on the left, the phalanx of the healed.
The right side is larger. The last resolution to live, bursts forth with wild impetuosity in the sinners; they press forward, tread on those lying on the ground, and without mercy wind their way on, but in vain. In the same way the audience of a burning theatre would rave to-day!
