Abstract

Recent research in vision science suggests that human scene and texture Perception may be processed based on the computation of relatively simple image features. Those image features are also related to aesthetic processing such as visual pleasantness. In this study, such image features are called aesthetic image features. In this study, we examined the values of aesthetic image features in the works of three representative impressionist painters (Monet, Sisley, and Pissarro) to see what kind of values they have and what kind of time-series changes they show. The results revealed that the time-series in aesthetic image features correspond well to the findings in the field of art history, i.e., the chronological changes in the style of paintings during the lifetime of each artist. This result indicates that aesthetic image features can be used as indices of the chronological changes in art styles, and also suggests the possibility that the study of art history can be based on the characteristics of human perception and aesthetics.
