The researcher tackled the research title (Aesthetic Transformations in European Art from Mannerism to Impressionism) and the research was divided into four chapters. In the first chapter (the methodological framework), the researcher presented the research problem, which was represented by the following question: What are the aesthetic transformations in European art from Mannerism to Impressionism? Then the researcher explained the importance of the research and the aim of the research, which is to identify the aesthetic transformations in European art from Mannerism to Impressionism. He set its boundaries: the objective boundary was: aesthetic transformations in European art (Mannerism, Realism, Impressionism), the spatial boundary was: Europe, and the temporal boundary was: the period from 1520 to 1890. Then he defined its terminology. As for the second chapter (the theoretical framework), the researcher dealt with two topics. In the first topic, he addressed the concept of aesthetics in philosophy and art, and in the second topic, he addressed the systems of transformation in European art. Then the theoretical framework concluded by setting indicators. In Chapter Three (Procedural Framework), the researcher defined the research methodology, research community, sample, and tool. He then analyzed the research samples. In Chapter Four, the researcher presented a set of results, reached a set of conclusions, and formulated recommendations and proposals. Among the results the researcher arrived at were:
