Abstract: Since the creation of "sublime" as a rhetorical concept, it has gradually gained its connotation and application in the fields of poetics, ethics, aesthetics, etc., with multiple meanings and interpretations, and has been widely adopted into artistic creation in the 19th century, and William Turner's The Slave Ship is a typical example.With the help of The Slave Ship, this paper aims to analyze the mainstream sublime aesthetics of Edmund Burke and Immanuel Kant and to explore how Turner created the sublime aesthetics of nature's shocking and rational contemplation with the help of brutal historical events and astonishing art forms.
