Morgan Smythe: Beauty

Beauty in art is how well an affect or emotion is conveyed to its audience.

the Taj Mahal
The Mughal emperor Shah Jahan's desire was to immortalize his wife's memory in a mausoleum of matchless beauty. Remains today as an architectural marvel of the modern world. 

Creation of Adam
The Creation of Adam is a fresco painting by Michelangelo, which forms part of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, painted c. 1508–1512. It illustrates the Biblical creation narrative from the Book of Genesis in which God breathes life into Adam, the first man.
Starry Night
The Starry Night is an oil on canvas by the Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. Painted in June 1889, it depicts the view from the east-facing window of his asylum room at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, just before sunrise, with the addition of an idealized village.
