What reading level is The Lives of the Most Eminent British Painters And Sculptors 5 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
While Sir George was one day walking with Lord Beverley, the " sovereign people" came forth and seized a victim, whom they hurried Off to execute & la lanterne: the two Englishmen, 124 EMINENT PAINTERS* having never seen before such proceedings gazed on the victim with looks of astonishment and horror: but looks were understood as well as words and deeds by the friends of liberty: and Sir George and his companion were in a fair way of being hanged as unceremoniously as the man they pitied, when... a sympathizing citizen fixed a tri-coloured cockade in their hats, and aided their escape. Sir George loved liberty, but not such liberty as this : he set a guard upon his looks, and took the first opportunity of re* turning to his native land. I have not heard that he profited as a painter by his brief journey.
As soon as he learned to paint, Sir George began to form a collection of the drawings of Wilson, Gilpin, Hearne, Gurtin, Dance, and others. A gal- lery of fine paintings required more expense ; he- sides, the war with France shut us out from the great Italian collections, and an Englishman ran the double chance of paying an enormous price, and ob- taining a spurious article: the knowledge and perse- verance of Sir George enabled him, however, to overcome or avoid all these difficulties.
