"Amid the rapidly changing world of the eighteenth century flourished one of Britain's greatest artists: painter, printmaker, satirist, and social critic William Hogarth. Seen here alongside the major European contemporaries who shared a common outlook on modern life - including Chardin, Longhi and Troost, among many others - Hogarth is revealed not only as a key figure in British art history, but also as a major European artist. This book casts new light on the artists and their times, focusing on the themes of sexuality, morality, satire and city life - but also reaching far beyond London, Paris, Venice and Amsterdam to investigate the connections of the artists and their work with the wider world." -- back cover
