To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Over all broods a spirit, large, aloof, ele- mental. Michel is the link between the earlier Romanticists and the poetry of the pay sage intime. [129] CHAPTER X THE POETRY OF THE PAYSAGE INTIME A SECOND time in the story of French painting Fontainebleau becomes the nucleus of a fresh departure. Three centuries ear- lier Francis I had invited thither Italian artists, thus giving royal indorsement to the inauguration of the French Renaissance. Now a group of artists, settling in Barbizon on the ed...ge of the Forest, developed a new motive : the poetry of the pay sage intime. A great difference separates the two events. The earlier, an aristocratic movement, had been an infusion of French life and thought and art with the southern culture of Greece, Rome and Italy ; a recovering of the birthright of the nation in one of the sources of its race and civilization; an assertion of the Mediterranean ele- ment in its mixed ancestry. The new movement is democratic, its origin not only northern but essentially French.
