This article highlights Thomas Aquinas' vision of the human being as someone who is made to contemplate beauty and who is moved throughout his existence by the love and desire to contemplate it. The appreciation of beauty, of its integrity, proportion and clarity, generates in the contemplator the experience of joy, happiness and also allows him to see a purpose and order in the universe, which communicates an experience of peace in the contemplator, who inevitably increases his longing to find perfection and ideal beauty, which he will not fully find in this world, but which unites us as brothers in the outflow of a common love of the ideal with a view to the great common works.
