Gilpin, William (1724–1804), is remembered for his influential writings on the
picturesque, which did much to form the taste in landscape, art, and the literary treatment of nature in the later 18th cent. and which some have seen as heralds of
Romanticism. From 1768 onwards he embarked on various travels in search of the picturesque, visiting many parts of the British Isles, and produced the series of illustrated tours parodied by
Combe in his
Dr Syntax. His theoretical principles are set out in his
Three Essays: On Picturesque Beauty; On Picturesque Travel; and On Sketching Landscape (1792).
