William Gilpin Boeken

William Gilpin, een Engelse kunstenaar en geestelijke, staat bekend als een van de grondleggers van het pittoreske concept. Hij definieerde schilderachtige schoonheid als 'dat soort schoonheid dat aangenaam is op een schilderij'. Gilpin ontwikkelde principes voor deze esthetiek, grotendeels gebaseerd op zijn kennis van landschapsschilderkunst, en paste deze toe op de landschappen die hij tijdens zijn uitgebreide reizen waarnam. Zijn inzichten, vastgelegd in notities en schetsen, beïnvloedden de waardering voor landschapsesthetiek diepgaand.
