Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine what Claude-Joseph Vernet tried to realize by vividly evoking auditory images in his marine paintings and what it means through the analysis of the soundscapes in these paintings. As a result of analyzing 141 pieces of this artist's marine paintings, which are classified into three themes of 'storm', 'calm', and 'French harbor', a total of 1,302 elements of soundscape appeared, and these created images of 'disaster' in the theme of 'storm', 'invitation to a journey' in the theme of 'calm', and 'prosperity' in the theme of 'French harbor', thus confirming the perception that Vernet's contemporaries had about the sea. These research results allow us to interpret the artist's marine paintings more broadly from the perspective of the sea itself, rather than looking only at Edmund Burke's concept of the sublime, like Denis Diderot.
