About this listen

Published in 1873, Studies in the History of the Renaissance is considered one of the most influential works in the field of aestheticism. The book is a collection of essays that explore various artists of the Renaissance period, focusing primarily on the art, culture, and philosophy of the time.

In the Studies, Pater celebrates the pursuit of beauty and the sensual pleasures it brings, advocating the appreciation of art as a means of self-discovery and personal growth. His prose is often characterized by vivid descriptions, lush imagery, and a rich use of language. He explores the artistic achievements and cultural milieu of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, and others.

Pater’s ideas, especially his celebration of sensual experience and the pursuit of beauty, influenced many artists and writers of the time, including Oscar Wilde and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
