Gazing around Hogarth’s election series is always a treat too! One of the standout bits of the warren of rooms!

199 years ago today at , Sir John Soane purchased Hogarth’s four-part series ‘The Humours of an Election’, a satirical send-up of eighteenth century politics. 🗳️🎨

No word on whether such raucous scenes can be spotted today in Wakefield or Tiverton and Honiton… 😉

Insanely great! Each one! Such a journey over the years & a favorite part of meeting new artists of all ages! It’s wild flipping through old stuff, little forgotten pieces I like and my own slow (injury! Doh!) progress! I made my biggest jump w/Burne Hogarth’s books at 12-14. ✌️

Hogarth’s 1734 version, with a similar attempted interruption by someone who seems to know cause, or just impediment, why these two persons should not be joined together in holy Matrimony.

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!

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.

If you’re ever wandering Bloomsbury’s streets look up...

Hawksmoor’s St George’s (1731) has lions and unicorns chasing each other around the spire (a reference to England & Scotland) with George I looking down

It’s depicted in Hogarth’s ‘Gin Lane’

self portrait of 1735 stopped me in my tracks at . What total self confidence, in the assertive gaze, and the freedom with which he handles the paint.
