Answer:

The structure of the sonnet reinforces the idea that art influences feelings, even without the observer technically analyzing it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The central theme of the poem is how art should be admired and its power to express the feelings of those who visualize it. The poet reinforces that for these feelings to be felt, the observed does not need to understand the artist's techniques or concepts. This can be perceived because in the first stanza of the sonnet, the poet shows that she does not need to know the name of the artist, nor the devices he used in art, in the second stanza, he shows that art itself is the only element capable of convey sensations.
