What reading level is The Appreciation of Sculpture; a Handbook book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Recent Art, Part I, Form artist whose work we possess would have dreamed of producing anything so minutely studied from nature in all its parts. The famous Farnese Hercules in the British Museum is a study of the exaggerated muscles which might be supposed to give the physical explanation of the godlike force of the Greek hero Herakles, or of the Roman caricature of him called Hercules : but we all detest that statue, nor would any modern writer dream of pointing to it as an example of anything... that is worthy of our study in what remains of the past. The student may, if he likes, turn from this statue of the digger also, but he should first note that there is here no attempt to render anything preterhuman in the size or the disposition of the muscles. In fact the starting of the veins to the surface is ex- pressive rather of human weakness ; for al- though it is good " to have the circulation near the surface " both for horse and for man, yet the high relief of the swollen veins is a confession that the powers are being strained beyond their normal endurance.
