About this book
Beauty, Walter Pater argues in his preface, is best understood through particular works and the impressions they leave on the viewer, not through a general formula. The critic's task is to ask what a song, a picture or a person in a book does to him, and to name the source of that effect. La Gioconda and Pico della Mirandola are among his examples.
The volume gathers Pater's studies of Renaissance art and poetry, first published in 1873. This is the sixth edition, dedicated to C.L.S. It treats figures such as Botticelli, Leonardo and Michelangelo.
