What reading level is The German And Flemish Masters in the National Gallery book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And indeed the family likeness between Rubens's portraits of women arises from this subjective way of looking at his models and his intensely individual style.
i64 RUBENS The "Chapeau de Paille" is entirely by Rubens himself, unless indeed the hands, which are darker than the face, have been retouched. The colour has been brushed on with an almost magical feathery lightness, from the vaporous blue in the sky to the marvellous pearly flesh tints, which can only be properly appreciated from a lit...tle distance. And what a problem the painter has set himself in thus throwing the face into half shadow under the broad- brimmed black felt hat, a very triumph of subtle chiaroscuro ! Reynolds did just the same in that masterpiece of his in Hertford House, the beautiful "Nelly O'Brien." Had he not painted it before his visit to Antwerp, when he saw and praised our picture, we might well have believed that his work was inspired by this. Madame Vigde le Brun actually did set her- self to repeat Rubens's tour de force in the portrait of herself, which, since 1897, belongs to the National Gallery (1653).
