William Gilpin (1724-1804), headmaster and writer on art. His 1768 'Essay on Prints' first outlined his theories of the picturesque, which were developed in a series of books on picturesque beauty in various parts of Britain. The proceeds from his books enabled Gilpin to build and endow two schools at Boldre in the New Forest, where he had been vicar since 1777. Gilpin was parodied by William Coombe in 'The Tour of Dr Syntax in Search of the Picturesque', with illustrations by Thomas Rowlandson. Gilpin, however, was ambivalent about the fame and wealth derived from his writings on art, preferring to emphasise his religious work (as this portrait demonstrates). From the 1781 portrait by Henry Walton (London, National Portrait Gallery).
