Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delineates the distinction between the picturesque and the beautiful in landscape and art, elucidating how the beautiful is a specific and definable quality separate from other aesthetic categories. The author argues that picturesque qualities are not synonymous with beautiful ones, engaging in a sustained critique of prevailing landscape aesthetics. Specifically, the author takes issue with the writings of Sir Joshua Reynolds and Mr. Burke, who argue that beauty exists in a particular arrangement of aesthetically pleasing qualities. By examining antique art and sculpture and comparing it to existing forms in nature, the author posits beauty manifests in qualities such as smoothness, gradual variation, and delicate coloration. He emphasizes an inherent dignity and elevation present in genuine beauty, and that beauty should be perceived more as a distinct entity than a spectrum of relative qualities or an element of the picturesque. Throughout, the author contextualizes their ideas within existing aesthetic theory, offering a nuanced and detailed interrogation of the nature of beauty. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332288533_0
