What reading level is The Gospel Story in Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The charming ex- ample of the Greek monk James in the Vatican library brings in an oriental efflorescence of delight in mere beauty; he has attempted to render with colours the different moments of antique legends and apocryphal texts. The Virgin touches the water jar and moves her head to listen to the voice of the angel who speaks from heaven. Then she goes back into her house and sits upon a seat covered with white and red and blue ornaments, spinning the purple veil, while an angel bends th...e knee before her.
In the baptismal font of Saint John at Verona there is a dramatic account quite different from anything before or after, and exceptional beyond measure. A mere account of it will show how an imaginative artist can disturb the current and indicate strange possibilities.
The drama expresses the perturbation of the Virgin.
The angel advances toward her with a strong step, the movement accentuated by his draperies and by his stretched-out wings. She rises to her feet suddenly, taking hold of the spindle with one hand and pushing it behind her, and raises the left hand almost as if in self-defence, even drawing back a foot as though afraid of the contact of the messenger.
