In art, “𝗮𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲” refers to the fundamental qualities that give an artwork its artistic merit and unique identity, such as its emotional impact, beauty, or symbolic meaning. It is the intrinsic, intangible quality that defines the work, which can be felt as a “good feeling” when experienced. It is the crucial element that transcends a work’s function, purpose, or mere physical composition to create a profound and universal connection with the viewer.
“Art is ruled uniquely by the imagination. Images are its only wealth. It does not classify objects, it does not pronounce them real or imaginary, does not qualify them does not define them; it feels and presents them”. ~Benedetto Croce
