Humans all around the world are drawn to creating and consuming art due to its capability to evoke emotions, but the mechanisms underlying art-evoked feelings remain poorly characterised. Here we show how embodiement contributes to emotions evoked by a large database of visual art pieces (n = 336). In four experiments, we mapped the subjective feeling space of art-evoked emotions (n = 244), quantified "bodily fingerprints" of these emotions (n = 615), and recorded the subjects' interest annotations (n = 306) and eye movements (n = 21) while viewing the art. We show that art evokes a wide spectrum of feelings, and that the bodily fingerprints triggered by art are central to these feelings, especially in artworks where human figures are salient. Altogether these results support the model that bodily sensations are central to the aesthetic experience.
世界各地的人们都被创作和欣赏艺术的能力所吸引，因为它能够唤起情感，但艺术唤起的情感背后的机制仍未得到很好的描述。在这里，我们展示了身体体验如何影响对大型视觉艺术作品数据库（n=336）所唤起的情感。在四个实验中，我们绘制了艺术唤起的情感的主观感受空间（n=244），量化了这些情感的“身体指纹”（n=615），并记录了受试者在观看艺术时的兴趣注释（n=306）和眼动（n=21）。我们表明，艺术唤起了广泛的情感，而艺术所引发的身体感觉是这些情感的核心，尤其是在以人物为突出特征的艺术作品中。总的来说，这些结果支持了这样一种模式，即身体感觉是审美体验的核心。
