Description

Luis Cardoza y Aragón traduce a un también renombrado crítico y teórico del arte, que emprende aquí una descripción de los elementos que intervienen en la obra de arte, sus raíces, su historia y aquellas cualidades intrínsecas o que la hacen bella, perdurable y digna de elogio o imitación saludable.

This was a really fascinating read. I feel like these are two of those topics that discreetly go hand-in-hand. You see aesthetics everywhere in history: art, architecture, fashion, stories, and more. Although Berenson focuses on Italian Art, a lot of the topics can be seen in other aspects of history and culture. I do recommend this as a read if you can get a copy.
