artistic beauty
Creative visual appeal
Artistic beauty is the aesthetic quality perceived in works of art—the capacity of a painting, sculpture, piece of music, or other creative work to evoke admiration or emotional response through its form, composition, or expression.
Unlike natural beauty, artistic beauty involves human intention and craft: The artistic beauty of the cathedral's stained glass windows.
The phrase often distinguishes aesthetic merit from technical skill or commercial appeal.
