What reading level is Verrocchio book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Another sculptor made a horse of clay, and baked it in a furnace ; it is admirably formed and of a red colour. The third moulded an exquisitely shaped horse out of wax. The Venetians chose this latter, and rewarded the artist. ,But as to what will be done about casting it, I have not yet heard : perhaps they will give the matter up.* According' to Vasari, the choice of the Florentine Ver- roccbio roused the jealousy of certain Venetians, who intrigued with such success that while Ven'occhio rec...eived the commission to cast his horse in bronze, Vellano of Padua was ordered to execute the rider. On hearing this, Verrocchio was so enraged that he broke up his model and returned to Florence, refusing to have anything; piore to do with the work. Vasari's anecdote, though probably apocryphal, is worth quoting.
Andrea, therefore, the model of the horse completed, had begun to brace it for casting in bronze ; when by the favour- ing of certain gentlemen, it was decided that Vellano of Padua should make the figure and Andrea the horse.
