Understanding Sublime
So, what is actually meant by Sublime?
The theory developed by Edmund Burke in the middle of the eighteenth century, where he defines noble art as an art that refers to the greatness outside of all possible calculations, measurements or imitation.
Explanation of Sublime
The noble art theory was proposed by Edmund Burke in a philosophical investigation of our origin -ideas about sublime and beautiful published in 1757. He defines Sublime as a productive artistic effect of the strongest emotions that can be felt. He wrote ‘whatever is in terms of terrible or fluent about terrible objects or operating in an analogous way with terror, is a great source’.
In the landscape, Sublime was exemplified by J.M.W Turner’s Sea Storms and Mountain Scenes and in the history of paintings by the drama of violence Henry Fuseli. The idea that a legitimate function of art can produce disappointing or disturbing effects is an important element in romantic art and remains fundamental for the arts today.
