EDITORS COMMENTS
Hogarth's Rake Progress 2: The Rake Surrounded by Flattering Artists and Professors, c. 1735, is a captivating print by the renowned English artist William Hogarth. This intriguing work is the second plate in Hogarth's iconic series, "A Harlot's Progress," which chronicles the downward spiral of a young woman named Moll into a life of prostitution. In this image, the rake, Tom Rakewell, is depicted in the midst of a grand assembly of artists and professors, who fawn over him with flattery and admiration. Tom, dressed in elegant attire and holding a trophy, sits confidently on a harpsichord bench, surrounded by a list of artists and professors, each identified by name in the print. Among them are a painter, a sculptor, a musician, and a fencing master, all eager to capture the essence of Tom's charm and charisma. The room is filled with opulence, with a grand fireplace, ornate furnishings, and an elaborate tapestry adorning the walls. This historical print, created in 1735, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th-century art and society. Hogarth masterfully captures the vanity and superficiality of the artists and professors, who are more concerned with the allure of Tom's wealth and status than his true character. The contrast between the grandeur of the setting and the moral decay of the characters adds depth and complexity to the narrative. The Rake Surrounded by Flattering Artists and Professors is a testament to Hogarth's skill as a storyteller and his ability to critique the society of his time. This print continues to intrigue and inspire art lovers and historians alike, offering a unique window into the past.
