Autoren-Porträt von Walter Pater
Walter Horatio Pater (1839-1894) was an influential English critic, essayist, and a notable figure in the Aesthetic Movement, a proponent of the pursuit of beauty and the elevation of form over content in the arts. Pater's work, particularly 'The Renaissance: Studies in Art and Poetry,' originally published in 1873, has etched his place in the domain of literary and cultural studies. A scholar by education and profession, Pater studied at Oxford and later joined the faculty at Brasenose College, where he dedicated his life to academia and writing. In 'The Renaissance,' Pater examined the cultural movements of the 14th to 17th centuries, encapsulating his reflections on influential artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, and Michelangelo. Pater's writing is characterized by a highly refined and poetic prose style, and his emphasis on the subjective experience of art has had a lasting impact on aesthetic philosophy and criticism. He advocated for a life of intense and immediate experience, famously culminating in the book's conclusion with an exhortation to 'burn always with this hard, gemlike flame.' Pater's exploration of hedonism, expression, and historical analysis has continued to resonate with scholars and readers, and his work remains a seminal text in the study of Renaissance art and the development of modern aesthetic thought.
