Note: | William Hogarth: The name of William Hogarth requires little in the way of an introduction. He is the unquestioned father of England's rich tradition of satire and remains one of the most original and lively minds in the entire history of British art. Famous for his paintings, William Hogarth's engravings are even more paramount: the imagery from "The Harlot's Progress", "Marriage a la Mode", "The Four Stages of Cruelty", "Four Prints of an Election", "The Four Times of the Day" and a host of others are crucial to an understanding of eighteenth century art and culture. Yet William Hogarth's art stretched beyond his time and his masterful engravings are as relevant to our society as they were to his. |
Training first as an engraver, William Hogarth became an independent illustrator as early as 1720. In his spare time he studied painting techniques, notably under Sir James Thornhill. By 1730 he established himself as a portrait painter. Yet at the same time, William Hogarth began creating sets of anecdotal pictures which brilliantly satirized society and its activities. One early set, "A Harlot's Progress" (1732), gained for Hogarth a strong and lasting national reputation. During the following decades he both painted and engraved individual works and sets of images which forged the cornerstone for English satirical art. Such great masters as Thomas Rowlandson, James Gillray, William Heath and George Cruikshank followed in William Hogarth's footsteps. | |
Illustrations for Samuel Butler's 'Hudibras' is William Hogarth's first published set of original engravings. Initially published in an edition of about two hundred impressions in 1725, these original engravings were printed for the final edition in 1822. "Hudibras Beats Sidrophel and his Man Whacum" is the eighth plate from this set. | |
Samuel Butler (1612-1680) was an English poet who is best remembered for his three part epic, 'Hudibras', published in 1663, 1664 and 1678. 'Hudibras' satirizes the hypocrisy and pomposity of seventeenth century Puritanism. Throughout his life, William Hogarth was drawn to this theme and expressed his concerns about religious fanaticism in such individual plates as "Credulity, Superstition and Fanaticism". 'Hudibras', however, is a far reaching work of satire and many of the themes and elements within the writings of Samuel Butler had a lifelong influence upon the art of William Hogarth. Hogarth's engraved plates for Hudibras often foreshadow elements of his later work, and are thus of great importance. | |
