HOGARTH - NOON
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching and engraving created by the renowned artist William Hogarth in 1738. Part of his series called "The Four Times of the Day" this particular print captures the vibrant energy of a bustling city street scene at noon. In this lively depiction, we see a diverse crowd going about their daily lives. The streets are filled with people from all walks of life, including businessmen, children playing, and even an African American figure - a rare sight in artworks from that era. At the center of the composition, our attention is drawn to a young girl who seems to be caught up in an embrace with another person. This flirtatious encounter hints at courtship and adds an element of intrigue to the scene. Hogarth's genius lies not only in his ability to capture everyday moments but also in his use of satire. Through subtle details like a clergyman holding a chamber pot or Will I Am (a play on words for 'William') written on one building, he cleverly critiques various aspects of English society during that time. This print offers us a glimpse into 18th-century London's dynamic street life and invites us to reflect on themes such as social interactions, class dynamics, and cultural diversity. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document capturing daily life during Hogarth's era.
