What reading level is The Wallace Span Classsearchtermspan Classsearchtermcollectionspan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, 26), should be mentioned, not only for its intrinsic interest but also for its bronze base, chased and gilt, which is also Italian work dating from the end of the seventeenth or early beginning of the eighteenth century.
A still earlier marble relief is of too curious a character to be passed over in silence. This is the circular Head of Christ (III. , 26), executed by Pietro 105 THE WALLACE COLLECTION Torrigiano, a Florentine artist who came over to England somewhere about 1515. It will be n...oticed that the face of Christ is not at all Italian in type but Gothic, and the explanation is that on his way to England Torrigiano probably visited Amiens Cathedral, where the famous Beau Christ so impressed him that he made it his model for this head.
Now we may reasonably suppose that a Florentine of this period, coming straight from the David of Michael Angelo to the sculpture of Amiens, would get a shock approaching to that experienced by a modern Frenchman coming from Ingres to Cezanne. Consequently it says much for Messer Torrigiano's broadminded discrimination that he could so enthuse over this masterpiece of the early thirteenth century.
