William Hogarth

29 June – 29 July 1951

William Hogarth, Heads of Six of Hogarth’s Servants c.1750–5. Tate.

William Hogarth
A Scene from ‘The Beggar’s Opera’ VI (1731)
Tate

Hogarth is not only the first great native English easel-painter; his pictures epitomize perhaps more than any other the British character. We may possibly have lost some of the robustness and assurance of this typical eighteenth-century Englishman, but we can still find in him a reflection of many of our own tastes and prejudices.

Hogarth’s genius gives us a wider insight into the life and manners of eighteenth-century England than any other painter of the period.

  • William Hogarth Marriage a la Mode: The Tete a Tete

    Hogarth

    Witty, satirical, subversive and hugely talented, William Hogarth remains one of the most fascinating and innovative artists from the eighteenth century. This superb exhibition is the most comprehensive showing of the artist’s work in a generation and incorporates the full range of Hogarth’s work.
