William Hogarth (1697-1764), was an English painter, engraver, pictorial social satirist, and editorial cartoonist. His moral and satirical engravings and paintings provided narrative social commentary on the immoralities of modern society. He was was the first great English-born artist to attract wide admiration abroad.
