Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of the picturesque, arguing it is an independent aesthetic category, as distinct from the beautiful and the sublime as either of those categories are from one another. The author traces the historical evolution of the concept from its roots in landscape painting and garden design, through its development as a distinct aesthetic category in the 18th century. The author then examines the ways in which the picturesque aesthetic manifests in different art forms, as well as the ways in which it has been applied to the natural world. Ultimately, the book argues that the picturesque is a complex and multifaceted concept, one that has played a significant role in the development of Western aesthetics. Thoroughly researched and elegantly argued, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of art, aesthetics, or landscape design. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334038501_0
