The work that launched the picturesque movement and changed our ways of looking at landscape forever. A witty, elegant, opinionated pilgrimage of taste.
William Gilpin, artista y clérigo inglés, es célebre por ser uno de los creadores del concepto de lo pintoresco. Definió la belleza pintoresca como 'aquel tipo de belleza que resulta agradable en un cuadro'. Gilpin desarrolló principios para esta estética, basada en gran medida en su conocimiento de la pintura paisajista, y los aplicó a los paisajes que observó durante sus extensos viajes. Sus reflexiones, plasmadas en notas y bocetos, influyeron profundamente en la apreciación estética del paisaje.
