<p>When a human watched a beautiful painting, a beautiful animation, sees a beautiful nature scene what hormone or neurotransmitter is produced in the organism that he feels the aesthetic pleasure? </p>

<p>Also is it the same chemical as when we hear a beautiful music?</p>

<p>If there are many like for example dopamine, oxytocin and endorphin then which one is the main responsible for the pleasure? </p>
