The following work deals with the idea of Beauty as seen in the work of
Winckelmann and its influence on Walter Pater, the English critic. The
concept of Beauty is to be analyzed chronologically. First of all, the concept
of Beauty in Winckelmann’s work will be analysed and its particularities will
be described. Further, the concept of Beauty will be analyzed in so far as it
changes throughout time and influences the further development of aesthetic
theory. Hegel takes up Winckelmann’s idea of Beauty and uses this idea in
his own aesthetic theory. Walter Pater takes up and develops the idea of
Beauty not only from Winckelmann, but also from Hegel. The influence of
both art critics, Winckelmann and Hegel, on Walter Pater will be shown in
this thesis. The latter, as this thesis shows, was to develop his own aesthetic
theory, which is supported by the concept of Beauty in Winckelmann and
Hegel.
