| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines various aspects of the gaze on "the cathedral" from the 19th to the early 20th century. In Europe, "travel" has been deeply associated with the experience of appreciating works of art. Through analyzing texts and images, this study aims to reveal how the value of "the cathedral" was discovered through the gaze of travel and how it was related to the context of society at that time. The analysis focuses on the trip to northern France by John Ruskin, an English art critic, and Marcel Proust, a French writer influenced by Ruskin, from the picturesque tour to the period of tourism. This study sheds light on the context of modern intellect and sensibility surrounding "the cathedral" in the history of cultural heritage.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
文化遺産の表象に関わる絵画、版画、写真の展覧会が、フランスではこの10年の間に開催されるようになった。文化遺産がこれまでどのように継承されてきたのかということに関心が高まっている証である。そして2019年4月のパリ、ノートル＝ダム大聖堂の火災をきっかけに、大聖堂の以前の姿が数々のイメージを通して伝えられた。文化遺産への眼差しを問う本研究は、今日の保護・保存のあり方を歴史的経緯を踏まえて問い直し、その意義を再認識するうえで社会的に貢献できると考えられる。
