To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some are milking their kine, and indulging in agriculture. Soldiers appear in the Age of Brass, exhibiting to their leader the wounds they have received in battle, claiming recompense at his hands for their wrongs. In the Age of Iron are more soldiers, breaking into a temple, maltreating those who have fled there for refuge. There are two figures among the cap- tives of war in the fresco representing the Age of 290 Stansa fcella Stufa 291 Brass, a man and a woman, who are sitting in an attitude... of dejection on the ground in the left corner of the picture, as may be seen in the illustra- tion. The frescoes are all in florid taste, and just about appropriate for theatre curtains; they are not thoughtfully conceived or skilfully drawn. Ber- retini, called Pietro da Cortona, was the founder of a school in Cortona in the late seventeenth cen- tury. He and his scholars, it is needless to remark, appeared at a time when art was at a low ebb, and their pictures are mannered and exaggerated. Pietro da Cortona was born in 1596, and did much of his work in Florence, closing his life in Rome in 1669.
