What reading level is The Art of Florence An Interpretation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Baptistery, Pisa. Niccolo Pisano, 1206 ?-1278 ?
i6o Mornings with Masters of Art if only it did not lean. The pulpit is a little hexagonal en- closure resting upon pillars which, in turn, rest upon the backs of lions, most unplausible and inartistic of suggestions, which seems to have entered Italy with the returning Crusaders, and to have been derived originally from so remote a people as the Hittites, where it doubtless had a significance that is lost to us. It is wholly in keeping with the w...eird fantasy of Asia, which forever separates its art from that of the West, by a great gulf that no man can cross. The arches that span these pillars are decorated with cusps which are unmis- takably Gothic, though there is nothing beyond this super- ficial reminiscence to remind us that Italy was at this time beginning to feel the influence of that far-reaching art. The enclosure itself is made by an architectural framework with pillars at the corners and panels at the sides. Archi- tecturally it is sound, though it cannot compare in grace of proportion with Greek work or even with some later con- structions of the Renaissance.
