What reading level is The Smaller Tuscan Towns book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is a notable lack of emotional intensity. Neither joy nor sorrow are expressed by the calm, well-featured onlookers. The lions supporting the columns symbolise the protection and vigilance of the Church over its members, represented by the sheep lying between the paws of the lions.
In the centre of the nave is a holy water basin, by Giovanni Pisano. It rests on the heads of the three Theological Virtues, massive figures crowned as queens and wearing embroidered robes. Round the basin itse...lf are the four Cardinal Virtues, Justice, Temperance, Forti- tude and Prudence.
To the L. Of the pulpit is a noble group of almost life- size figures, by Luca della Robbia, Th^ group has been broken up and separated from its original background. Mary, very young and simple, bends humbly towards the aged Elizabeth, who is on her knees, looking up into the young face with a serious, searching gaze. There is no exaggeration of expression. There is no attempt to represent an ideal type of beauty, but the attitude of the two women, the position of their hands, even the simple lines of the drapery, convey a deeply and sincerely felt 138 THE SMALLER TUSCAN TOWNS emotion.
