What reading level is The Grammar of Painting And Engraving book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The historic landscape is beautiful only when it is sincere, that is to say, when, instead of being the work of a teacher who has not felt what he wishes to express, it emanates from a master who expresses what he has felt.
Animals. When they are the principal object in the painting, animals fall into the list of subjects in which imitation plays the chief role. They ought to be simplified and aggrandized by style only when they figure in a fabulous, composition or in some au- gust scene in the... suite of the gods. They are then considered as emblematic, and to imitate, them too PAINTING. 221 closely would be a puerility. When Cybele passes on her car drawn by lions, when the triumphant Bacchus guides his panthers, it is not fitting to ren- der too exactly the fur of these animals, the details of their manes, the spots upon their skins. They should retain something mythical, because such animals being taken as symbols, participate in the divinity they accompany. How much less effective would be a decoration in which the steeds of the sun or of Neptune were introduced, if the artist limited him- self to copying them from nature, instead of, like Julio Romano or Polydorus, giving them something supernatural.
