William Gilpin Knihy
William Gilpin byl anglický umělec, anglikánský duchovní a autor. Jeho největší přínos spočívá v rozvinutí konceptu „malebna“, který definoval jako „druh krásy, který je příjemný na obraze“. Gilpin aplikoval principy malebna na krajiny, které navštívil, a zaznamenával své myšlenky a skici do deníků. Jeho dílo se stalo vlivným pro chápání estetiky krajiny.
