William Hogarth (10 November 1697 – 26 October 1764) was an English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic and editorial cartoonist. Satirical political illustrations in this style are often referred to as "Hogarthian."
3
Early life William Hogarth was born at Bartholomew Close in London to Richard Hogarth, a poor Latin school teacher and textbook writer, and Anne Gibbons. In his youth he was apprenticed to the engraver Ellis Gamble in Leicester Fields. Young Hogarth amused himself by sketching the characters he saw.
4
Career By April 1720 Hogarth was engraving coats of arms, shop bills, and designing plates for booksellers. In 1727, he was hired to prepare a design for the Element of Earth. But his work was declined when completed.
5
Early works Early satirical works included an Emblematical Print on the South Sea Scheme, about the disastrous stock market crash of 1720 known as the South Sea Bubble.
6
Moralizing art Harlot's and Rake's Progresses In 1731, he completed the series of moral works which first gave him recognition as a great and original genius. A Harlot's Progress - first as paintings - then published as engravings
7
Marriage à-la-mode In 1743–1745 Hogarth painted the six pictures of Marriage à-la-mode, a pointed skewering of upper class 18th century society.
8
Portraits Hogarth was also a popular portrait painter. In 1746 he painted actor David Garrick as Richard III. In the same year a sketch of Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat, had an exceptional success.
9
Other later works Notable Hogarth engravings in the 1740s include The Enraged Musician (1741), the six prints of Marriage à-la-mode (1745) The Stage Coach or The Country Inn Yard (1747).
10
Influence and reputation Hogarth's paintings and prints have provided the subject matter for several other works. For example, Igor Stravinsky's opera The Rake‘s Progress, with libretto by W. H. Auden, was inspired by Hogarth's series of paintings.
11
Painter and engraver of modern moral subjects Hogarth drew from the highly moralizing Protestant tradition of Dutch genre painting, and the very vigorous satirical traditions of the English broadsheet and other types of popular print.
