This article’s thesis was an intention to analyze Hannibal Lecter’s way of thinking about beauty. The character of Thomas Harris’ novels series takes on the role of murderer-artist, who creates gruesome installations made of human bodies and prepares exquisite, cannibalistic delights. The first part of the article is a reflection on the possibility of a complete separation of ethics to aesthetics. It is an attempt to answer the question whether evil can be beautiful or just wear the beautiful mask. In the next part the author analyzes Hannibal’s artistry both in the Thomas Harris’ novels and their film adaptation by Bryan Fuller through the prism of Nietzsche's conception of art. The end of the article introduces the spiritual thread for discussion of aesthetics works by genius killer. Their beauty has signs of devilishness. Ambivalent feelings felt by recipients of Dr. Lecter’s art, bear the marks of moral warning.
