William Hogarth (1697 - 1764) was an English painter, engraver, pictorial satirist, social critic, editorial cartoonist and occasional writer on art. His work ranges from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects" and he is perhaps best known for his series
The Harlot's Progress
,
The Rake's Progress
and
Marriage A-la-Mode
. Knowledge of his work is so pervasive that satirical political illustrations in this style are often referred to as "Hogarthian"."
