This research considers the Artistic-Aesthetic Theory of Abu Nasr Al-Farabi (870- 950 AD) and whether it was influenced by Greek philosophy, leading to the belief that his work was non-revolutionary. It evaluates Al-Farabi's aesthetic theory and his contributions, but the historical method used by the researchers has not been without the use of the descriptive method as a secondary method. The study reviews Al-Farabi's aesthetic philosophy by investigating the extent of its influence on previous theories. This study’s problem, however, lies in his theory of beauty, as it overlaps with different topics, such as morality, existence, perfection, and nature. It studies Al-Farabi’s theory of beauty and the extent to which it was influenced by Greek philosophers and shows that separating the outlines of Islamic art from Al-Farabi's philosophy of beauty will directly harm it and its contributions.
