Biography
William Hogarth (1697-1764) was a British painter and printmaker born in London. He was a prominent artist of the Rococo era known for his satirical social commentary, often depicted in his engravings. Hogarth's paintings, like "Marriage à la Mode" and "The Rake's Progress," explored themes of vice and virtue in the society of his time. The series of engravings, like the "Four Stages of Cruelty," demonstrate his social conscience and his artistic talents. His works, often comedic yet with moral undertones, have been celebrated for their visual wit and incisive social commentary.
