The loss of the transcendental character of beauty in Agostino Nifo's "De puchro". This article studies the transformation of the concept of Beauty in Nifo's work. For that purpose the most relevant thesis of his work De pulchro are being compared with the most significant writings of the work of Thomas d' Aquino. The results of this study lead us to the following conclusion: In Nifo's work we find the elements related to Beauty, that are present in the Tradition, but empty of content. As Beauty is reduced to the sensitive ambitus, it losses its transcendental character.
