Hogarth was one of the great eighteenth-century painters, a marvellous colourist and innovator at all levels of artistic expression. As a man he was rooted in his own time and his own society. We ‘read’ his satirical works – The Rake’s Progress, Marriage-a-la-Mode – as we read a novel, and our pleasure increases with the number of details we notice and hidden jokes we understand. David Bindman provides an illuminating guide to the satires and a vivid and incisive study of the man and his art.
