What reading level is The Critic in the Occident book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Aside from the statuary, the other great things in the Vatican are the Sistine Chapel and the Stanze of Raphael. Pope Sixtus IV decided to have a chapel decorated by the greatest artists of his day. The result is the most sumptuous room in Rome, if not in the world. Perugine, Botticelli and Ghir- landajo were among the minor artists who lent their genius to the decoration of the walls and the panels; but it was Michelangelo who made the chapel unique. He covered the ceiling of this chapel with ...heroic figures of prophets and sibyls, and he pictured in a great series the creation, the fall of man and the prospect of redemption. The figures of Michel- angelo are drawn with the same power that shines through the stone figures which adorn the tombs of [63] The Critic in the Occident the Medici in Florence. No other artist ever drew with the same combination of demoniac force and perfect certainty of form. This work on the chapel ceiling is far finer than anything in "The Last Judgment," the enormous fresco that covers the end ofthe chapel.
