What reading level is The Art of the Munich Galleries book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mon- ica. A mountain landscape forms the background.
Of the works of Giorgio Vasari of Arezzo, whom we know more as a historian than an artist, we have two Madonnas (1091, 1092). Giorgio Vasari was an artist of versatile talent, a historical painter and architect. Many of his paintings are scattered among the various European galleries, but they are not of much interest or artistic value, if we except the fine portrait of Lorenzo de' Medici, in the Gallery of the Uffizi in Florence, and of Cosi...mo I in the Berlin Museum.
Vasari's greatest merit certainly consists in his literary labours ; his biographical account of the lives of artists being the first important work on modern art. Without it our knowledge of single masters and of the development of schools would be poor and fragmentary. There is in his writings a certain fairness of tone which, in a painter living in the midst of various pursuits and contending in- terests, is no slight merit. Vasari's descriptions are often full of freshness and liveliness and his anecdotes are invaluable in the history of men and manners.
