The Renaissance
Walter Pater
eBook (Start Publishing LLC, Jan. 24, 2013)Pater's graceful essays discuss the achievements of Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and other artists. Included is his celebrated discussion of the Mona Lisa in a study of Da Vinci. This book concludes with an uncompromising advocacy of hedonism, urging readers to experience life as fully as possible.

Oscar Wilde called this collection of essays the "holy writ of beauty."
