On The Perception Of Natural Beauty By The Ancients And The Moderns: Rome, Ancient And Modern: Two Lectures

by Nicholas Patrick Wiseman

In this 1858 publication, the author reflects on the differences between the ancients and the moderns in their perceptions of natural beauty, using the city of Rome as a case study. Through a series of lectures, Wiseman argues that while moderns may lack the sensitivity and appreciation of the ancients, they can still learn from the past and find inspiration in the natural world around them.
