William Gilpin, ein englischer Künstler und Geistlicher, ist bekannt für die Begründung des Konzepts des Malerischen. Er definierte malerische Schönheit als „eine Art von Schönheit, die auf einem Bild angenehm ist“. Gilpin entwickelte Prinzipien für diese Ästhetik, die weitgehend von der Landschaftsmalerei beeinflusst waren, und wandte sie während seiner ausgedehnten Reisen auf die natürliche Welt an. Seine Einsichten, die er in Notizen und Skizzen festhielt, beeinflussten die Wertschätzung der Landschaftsästhetik maßgeblich.
