What reading level is Sketches By Samuel Prout, in France, Belgium, Germany, Italy And Switzerland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Prout himself has admirably expressed his views on this particular point in his Hints on Light and Shadow, thus : " Minute and elaborately finished pictures never strongly impress the mind, and are but mere curiosities to gratify persons insensible to higher excellences. Poetry does not consist in 17 words alone ; there must be sentiment and fancy, combination and arrangement. An analogous principle may be traced in music, and equally so in painting : the minor details are forgotten in the char...m produced by the whole." These views, though sound enough in principle, would probably have been somewhat modified had they been written a few years later ; the masterpieces of the pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which aroused such a stormy controversy amongst art critics a year or two before Prout's death, could hardly have been dis- missed as " mere curiosities to gratify persons insensible to higher excellences," nor as pictures which "never strongly impress the mind." It would be interesting, too, to know Prout's estimate of the carefully- wrought works of his contemporary, William Hunt.
