Abstract: Walter Pater's Studies in the History of the Renaissance, first published in 1873, was a widely influential work in the second half of the 19th century in England, and its description of the qualities of “pleasure” in the works of Botticelli, an early Renaissance artist, is of great theoretical significance. As one of the main representatives of “rediscovering” Botticelli in 19th-century British culture, Pater's use of the term “pleasure” in his critical writing not only serves as a descriptive term, but also as an appropriate theoretical concept, pointing to a multifaceted historical perspective. In critical theory since the 20th century, this historical perspective has been an inspiration for the interdisciplinarity of critical studies, and especially for the communication between art criticism and historical writing.

Key words: Walter Pater, Botticelli, pleasure, historical perspective

摘要: 英国著名批评家佩特初版于1873年的《文艺复兴史研究》是英国19世纪后半叶具有广泛影响力的著作,其中对文艺复兴早期艺术家波提切利作品中“愉悦”特质的描述有着重要的理论意义。佩特作为19世纪英国文化和思想界“重新发现”波提切利的主要代表之一,在其批评写作中运用的“愉悦”一词,不仅是描述性术语,还可以作为恰当的理论概念,指向一种多重面向的历史视角。在20世纪以来的批评理论中,该历史视角对批评研究的跨学科性,尤其对艺术批评和历史写作的沟通有着启发性推进。
