Join us for an enlightening exploration of the provocative world of 18th-century British artist William Hogarth. Known for his scathingly satirical prints, Hogarth wielded his artistic talent to offer biting critiques and moral instruction to the British public. This lecture will focus on Hogarth’s unique approach to satire, examining how his works not only entertained but also educated his audience on societal norms and behaviours. Discover the ways in which Hogarth’s art served as a powerful commentary on the social and political issues of his time, and consider the enduring impact of his satirical vision.
