it suggests a pleasant environment helps patients overcome discomfort and paina team headed by professor marina de tommaso at the neurophysiopathology pain unit asked a group of men and women to pick the 20 paintings they considered most ugly and most beautiful from a selection of 300 works by artists such as leonardo da vinci and sandro botticellithey were then asked to watch either the beautiful paintings, or the ugly paintings, or a blank panel while the team zapped a short laser pulse at their hand, creating a sensation as if they had been pricked by a pinthe subjects rated the pain as being a third less intense while they were viewing the beautiful paintings, compared with when considering the ugly paintings or the blank panelelectrodes measuring the brains electrical activity also confirmed a reduced response to the pain when the subject looked at beautiful paintingswhile distractions, such as music, are known to reduce pain in hospital patients, prof de tommaso says this is

designed to be functional, but we think that their aesthetic aspects should be taken into account too, said the neurologistbeauty obviously offers a distraction that ugly paintings do notbut at least there is no suggestion that ugly surroundings make the pain worsei think these results show that more research is needed into the how a beautiful environment can alleviate sufferingpictures they liked included starry night by vincent van gogh and botticellis birth of venuspictures they found ugly included works by pablo picasso, the italian 20th century artist anonio bueno and columbian fernando
