EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection, titled "AM170720 083360 (8, AM170720 083360) (sleeping congregation, April 21,1762)" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by the renowned British artist William Hogarth in London during the late 18th century, this etching and engraving masterpiece offers a unique glimpse into societal dynamics of that era. The image portrays a scene within a church where an entire congregation appears to be fast asleep. The intricate details captured by Hogarth's skilled hand allow us to observe each slumbering figure with astonishing clarity. From their peaceful expressions to their relaxed postures, it is evident that these individuals have succumbed to the soothing ambiance of divine worship. Through this artwork's fourth state plate measuring approximately 10 and a half inches by eight and three-sixteenths inches (267 x 208 cm), we are reminded of Hogarth's exceptional talent as both an artist and social commentator. His ability to convey subtle narratives through his prints is truly remarkable. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece from the Liszt Collection, let us reflect on its historical significance and appreciate how art has always served as a mirror reflecting society's idiosyncrasies. This particular work invites contemplation about religious devotion or perhaps even challenges our perceptions of faith itself.
