Word origin
The word 'picturesque' originated in the late 17th century, derived from the Italian word 'pittoresco', which means 'in the style of a painter'. It gained popularity in the 18th century in the context of landscape painting and the aesthetic appreciation of natural scenery. The Romantic movement further popularized the concept of the picturesque, emphasizing the beauty of nature and rustic scenes.
