Picturesque aesthetic, William Gilpin, 18th century.Abstract
Introduced to the conceptual repertoire of the theory of art in the second half of the 18th century, the picturesque attained autonomy as a formal artistic canon, understood as a kind of composition that differed from the classic paradigm of beauty. Therefore, the aesthetical concept of picturesque constituted complex historical phenomena, whose implications stretched along many cultural scopes such as gardening, literature, fashion and politics. Thus, picturesque contributed to the edification of the romantic sensitivity along the 19th century, molding a new shape for apprehending and conceiving a world based upon the visuals. This article aims at following the theoretical itinerary of the concept along the time and also the critical reflections of its main promoter, the Anglican clergyman, William Gilpin.Downloads
