description

A lifelong resident of London, Hogarth was apprenticed to an engraver of silver plate at fifteen and later studied drawing with Thornhill. His fame among his contemporaries derived chiefly from the series of moral satires that he engraved after his own oil paintings and disseminated to a wide public. Hogarth was a leading figure at the St. Martin’s Lane Academy and the author of an autobiography and a treatise on aesthetics.
