Goodchild marries the boss's daughter and becomes partner in the business. Lots to say about wedding celebrations at his house on Fish Street Hill, see https://t.co/KkQKmlRzxR. Hogarth worked out his composition in two drawings https://t.co/pvVz9AxnxT and https://t.co/oRopkTEIku https://t.co/BOi5cEeHHa

C is for Cheese, well to be exact! From Capodimonte cheese seller with a wheel of it, Italy, c. 1755, and in London, you could buy it from Mrs Holt's on the Strand, along with some Genoese Trade card after Hogarth, engr. c. 1794 by Anna Maria Ireland

Goodchild in charge of running workshop - women spinning, men weaving, child fetching and carrying, elderly porter delivering rolls of cloth. All seems to run smoothly, but Hogarth lets and suggest otherwise. Cat looks even angrier in preparatory drawing https://t.co/b10DvwhQYm

B is for Beer. Served in a creamware mug, Staffordshire, c.1765, ; and for its benefits see an engraving Beer Street, Hogarth, 1751, but also Thanks

It's good to spread the word. I find younger artists who don't know about Hogarth. Not everybody needs the master classes, but they should know where to go to find them. Otherwise, they're stuck learning how to draw comics from Christopher Hart. 😩

Today is Easter Sunday and we have an appropriate picture from our collection for you - one of the wings of the Altarpiece for St Mary Redcliffe: The Three Marys at the Tomb. The huge triptych was painted by William Hogarth, 1755/56. The angel tells them that Christ has risen.

I had to redraw the comic strip I wanted and I decided to redraw this one from Drago by Burne Hogarth!

Today: St George’s Bloomsbury London

Look up if you pass this eccentric church

The lions & unicorns on the tower were part of Hawksmoor’s 1711 design (& are on Hogarth’s Gin Lane), but were replaced by the Victorians - too racy!

put them back

Today's British print by William Hogarth: John Wilkes MP on trial for seditious libel in 1763 shown as leering hypocrite upholding Liberty as convenient slogan. But, with slight adjustment, image was used by supporters of Wilkes. Warning! Caricature can backfire.

Sadly, outdoor hobbies like fishing are not permitted at the moment, but works like William Hogarth’s A Fishing Party remind us of the importance of enjoying pursuits for their own sake - whether that’s reading a book, painting or even doing a crossword.

Here's Hogarth, who's part of a Half-Spider species I made up for my campaign ^^ ✨
He actually isn't part of the main party; he just likes tagging along with them from time to time and causing mischief for fun~
He was based off of an IRL spider nicknamed- x3c

Somebody who captures the feel of something’s character (psychology) rather than focusing purely on their psychical attitributes. Examples are Daumier, Otto Dix, Grosz, Hogarth and Gerald Scarfe. They tend towards political cartoons but the style also is seen in Asterix books.

The Iron Giant and a little Hogarth. A great animated movie and a real tearjerker. Watch it! https://t.co/KMyAzOI0JI

And another local connection - Sarah T's father was Joshua Kirby, a friend of William Hogarth who had a house in Chiswick (now open to the public). Hogarth encouraged the young JK and produced frontispieces for his books on perspective - check out the attached! https://t.co/alqtDypnYV
