Gilpin, W.

…However, in the second half of the 18th century, there were repeated and complicated discussions on the definition of the meaning of the term in relation to garden art, natural scenery, architecture, and landscape painting.

Next, the landscape gardener Uvedale Price (1747-1829) defined the idea of ​​the picturesque to include qualities such as complexity, variety, irregularity, roughness, and arousal of curiosity that are not included in the two aesthetic categories of “the sublime” and “the beautiful” proposed by E. Burke in 1757 (Essays on the Picturesque, 1794-98). …
