William Gilpin Livres

William Gilpin, artiste et ecclésiastique anglais, est reconnu pour être à l'origine du concept du pittoresque. Il définissait la beauté pittoresque comme "ce genre de beauté qui est agréable dans un tableau". Gilpin a développé des principes pour cette esthétique, largement inspirés par sa connaissance de la peinture de paysage, et les a appliqués aux paysages qu'il observait lors de ses nombreux voyages. Ses réflexions, consignées dans des notes et des croquis, ont profondément influencé l'appréciation de l'esthétique paysagère.
