Anmut vs Schönheit

beauty

'die Schönheit' and 'die Anmut' both have to do with an aesthetically pleasing effect. 'Schönheit' is the more general word and describes the fact that something or someone is beautiful. 'Anmut' refers more to a calm, harmonious, and elegant effect, especially in movement, posture, or appearance. The word sounds somewhat elevated and often fits with dance, gestures, or a very natural manner. For a beautiful place, you usually say 'Schönheit'; for a beautiful movement, 'Anmut' is more likely.
