This work focuses on the paintings and engravings of the prominent English artist William Hogarth, providing not only descriptions of his works but also insights into his life and the moral lessons conveyed through his art. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in art history, particularly in the study of satire and social commentary during Hogarth's time. The opening of this volume presents a comprehensive introduction to Hogarth's series of artworks, particularly emphasizing his famous collection "Marriage à la Mode." The authors lay out the narrative depicted in the paintings, highlighting the interplay of social ambition, moral decline, and the eventual tragic consequences faced by the characters involved. The descriptions focus on the characters in Hogarth’s paintings - a young nobleman driven by pride, a lady consumed by ambition, and a malevolent lawyer - and how their fates are intertwined as a cautionary tale about the dangers of marrying for wealth rather than love. Their sharp observations set the tone for a moral examination throughout Hogarth's oeuvre, explaining the artistic techniques used and the cultural context within which Hogarth operated.
