This article focuses on the fourth way of St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) for the rational demonstration of the existence of God (the way of degrees of perfection) from the specific point of view of the continuous search, in everything, of beauty as an ideal of religious inspiration, in the art and life of the medieval people.
