Portraits and Portrayals

Mary Sparling and Scott Robson have used the concept of ‘picturesque beauty' as a central theme in their book, Great Expectations: The European Vision in Nova Scotia 1749-1848 (1980). The term was first coined by the Reverend William Gilpin, a clergyman and traveller through the British Isles in the mid-1800s, who also practised landscape drawing and "was concerned to show ordinary people in a union with nature." According to Sparling and Robson, this artistic style was also popular in Nova Scotia, where "Although often over-romanticized, close-up views of farmers and Indians in their everyday life became popular subjects for artists and their clients."
