What reading level is The Prado a Description of the Principal Pictures in the Madrid Gallery book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Right opposite to us, in a direct line as we stand at the door of the Sala, js the ' Surrender of Breda, ' and we look, fascin- ated, as our eyes ever discover new beauties: VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO 77 there is the characterisation, the restraint of senti- ment in the expression of the idea, the exquisite taste that marks the grouping of the figures, the fine passages of colour. In this picture we see a fascinating and strong use of colour ; and at once a question is answered for us. It is said in... England that an over-zealous cleaning has destroyed, or at least marred, the fine colours of the Velazquezs at Madrid. This picture gives answer. Velaz- quez is a perfect master of colour this may be added to his other gifts. Another presentment of this scene a picture hung in the basement of the Prado, by Jose" Leonardo, a painter of third- rate merit, to whose credit it must be said he died young, helps us to understand the greatness of Velazquez. Contrast the two pictures the early work is the ordinary official record of a court-painter, executed to order; the other is a perfect work of art, one of the greatest no, the greatest, historical picture in the world.
