EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from William Hogarth's famous series, "A Rake's Progress - 2: The Levee" painted in 1733. In this particular image, we witness Tom, the protagonist of the series, hosting a morning reception at his luxurious town lodgings. Surrounding him are various visitors offering their services and expertise. The composition is rich with symbolism and social commentary as each character represents a different aspect of society. A jockey symbolizes sport and leisure, while a dancing-master with his violin embodies the arts. Charles Bridgeman, an esteemed landscape gardener holding a plan, signifies the importance of garden design during that era. Notably present is George Frederick Handel himself, believed to be depicted as the musician seated at the harpsichord. This inclusion hints at Hogarth's rivalry with Handel and adds another layer of intrigue to this already complex artwork. Hogarth masterfully uses monochrome tones to create depth and highlight intricate details within the interior setting. The black-and-white aesthetic enhances the satirical nature of this piece while emphasizing its historical significance. Through this photo print, viewers are transported back to 18th century England where wealth and fortune dictated one's lifestyle. It serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and an insightful glimpse into Georgian society's pastimes and occupations.
