Features: Through the study of art and poetry, the authors have made many efforts to give an abstract definition of beauty, express beauty in terms of universal language, and find some universally applicable formulas for beauty. The value of these efforts often lies in the insightful and thought-provoking things they mention when they do not touch on the main topic. Such discussions rarely help us appreciate the essence of art and poetry. This book is one of the theorists and representative works of the British Aesthetic Movement, an anthology of research papers published over the years on the representative figures of European Renaissance. The research subjects include famous figures such as Pico, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, the School of Giorgione, Dubreuil, Winckelmann, etc. In limited space, Pet outlines his conception of the Renaissance, forming a comprehensive understanding of the Renaissance.
