What reading level is The Work of Michelangelo: Reproduced in One Hundred And Sixty-Nine Illustrations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There, from Sept. 8, 1504, the "David" stood as a guardian of liberty, in place of the " Judith " of Donatello which had been erected there in 1495 to commemorate the expulsion of the Medici. In 1874, however, the "David" was removed into the Academy, where, in a small inside room, it is now hidden, and bears standing witness to the stupidity of museum officialism.
The " David " shows the extreme of Michelangelo^s realism. It lacks the rhythm of proportion and clearness of motive which are so n...ecessary to the sense of beauty. The moment chosen by the artist is that of the high tension immediately before the sling is thrown at the giant Goliath. The eyes are directed sharply at the approaching enemy, and the feet are light and springy. We feel that in the next moment the left foot will shoot out and the left hand will throw back the sling-sack containing the stone. It is a masterpiece of the quattrocento spirit.
A change, however, came in the wax statuette in the Casa Buo- narroti, apparently a model for a bronze " David, " ordered in 1502.
