William hogarth (1697-1764)
William Hogarth is considered to be a founder of the modern British school of painting. Among the subjects he dealt with were mythological , historical and social ones. He tried to do his best in portraits and moralistic cycles. The latter were profitably sold, making Hogarth famous. The most successful moralistic cycles were “ Rake’s progress” ,“Harlot’s progress”,
“Marriage a la Mode”, “Signing the contract”.
“Marriage a la Mode” is a series of six pictures. It is like a novel in paint unfolding us a story of the marriage of an earl’s son and a merchant’s
daughter. The first picture is called “ Signing the contract”.
Both fathers are sitting to the right. One of them, father of the bride,
Is expatiating about his family tree, to which he proposes to add the
earl. The earl’s son admires himself in a mirror .The bride is listening
to the compliments of a young lawyer.
The main idea portrayed by William Hogarth here is the protest against marriage for money and vanity. This energetic composition owes much to the Rococo ,but his bold brushwork is as original as his satirical wit. Beside his satirical and amusing approach to the subject, his objective is serious. Hogarth expects the viewer to read the picture.
Among his best works are “Captain Coram”, “ The Shrimp Girl”, “Marriage a la Mode”.
William Hogarth was unquestionably one of the greatest English painters and a man with his peculiar and individual approach to things. His achievement consisted in depicting social life through the prism of moralistic narrative on satirical background.
Hogarth combined colouring, theme and composition in his pictures very harmoniously. He was certain that success came to him due to his hard work. He wrote “Genius is nothing, labour is diligence”.
