William Gilpin
Clergyman, schoolmaster and writer on aesthetics, William Gilpin (1724–1804) is best known for his works on the picturesque. This appraisal of prints, first published anonymously in 1768 to positive reviews, defines the concept as 'a term expressive of that peculiar kind of beauty, which is agreeable in a picture'.
