Although style and fashion vary widely,cross-cultural research has found a variety of commonalities in people's perception of beauty.The earliest Western theory of beauty can be found in the works of early Greek philosophers from the pre-Socratic period,such as Pythagoras.The Pythagorean School saw a strong connection between mathematics and beauty.In particular,they noted that objects proportioned according to the golden ratio seemed more attractiveAncient Greek architecture is based on this view of symmetry and proportion.
Classical philosophy and sculptures of men and women produced according to these philosophers' tenets of ideal human beauty were rediscovered in Renaissance Europe,leading to a re-adoption of what became known as a "classical ideal",In terms of female human beauty,a woman whose appearance conforms to these tenets is still called a "classical beauty" or said to possess a "classical beauty",whilst the foundations laid by Greek and Roman artists have also supplied the standard for male beauty in western civilization.
The characterization of a person as "beautiful",whether on an individual basis or by community consensus,is often based on some combination of Inner Beauty,which includes psychological factors such as personality,intelligence,grace,politeness,charisma,integrity,congruence and elegance,and Outer Beauty,(i.e.physical attractiveness) which includes physical factors,such as health,youthfulness,facial symmetry,averageness,and complexion.
Standards of beauty are always evolving,based on what a culture considers valuable.Historical paintings show a wide range of different standards for beauty.However,humans who are relatively young,with smooth skin,well-proportioned bodies,and regular features,have traditionally been considered to be the most beautiful throughout history.
