Hogarth

Article d’Anaïs Le Fèvre-Berthelot
"L’oeuvre de William Hogarth, profondément ancrée dans son époque, illustre "les manières et caractères particuliers de la nation anglaise". Dans le domaine artistique, il a ainsi contribué à forger l’identité anglaise."

Oeuvres

- Marriage à-la-mode (Wikipedia)
"In 1743–1745, William Hogarth painted the six pictures of Marriage à-la-mode (National Gallery, London), a pointed skewering of upper class 18th century society. This moralistic warning shows the disastrous results of an ill-considered marriage for money. This is regarded by many as his finest project, certainly the best example of his serially-planned story cycles."
