...[E]xternal existence – is not what makes a work into a product of fine art;
a work of art is such only because, originating from the spirit, it now belongs to the territory of the spirit; it has received the baptism of the spiritual and set forth only what has been formed in harmony with the spirit.
Therefore the work of art stands higher than any natural product which has not made this journey through the spirit. For example, owing to the feeling and insight whereby a landscape has been represented in a painting, this work of the spirit acquires a higher rank than the mere natural landscape.
~George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, (Lectures on Fine Art 1835-38)
