The Beautiful has to do with the object itself, with a person's taste [subjective taste]

While the Sublime has to do with subject's mind . [With a person's mind]

When a person see the object and thinks that it is beyond the limit of beauty feeling the greatness of the object to the point that one's self becomes smaller , the object thus possesses the sublimity.
