aesthetical

Concerning artistic beauty

Aesthetical is an older or more formal variant of aesthetic, meaning concerned with beauty or artistic taste.

Both forms work as adjectives, though aesthetic now dominates: aesthetic considerations sounds more natural than aesthetical considerations.

The longer form survives mainly in philosophical or academic writing.
