In A Rake’s Progress (1732-34), 18th-century visual artist William Hogarth produces a series of eight paintings to reveal the story of Tom Rakewell, a young man who moves to London after inheriting his miserly father’s fortune. Without proper guidance on whom to trust and how to spend this money, Tom makes all the wrong choices. Hogarth’s “modern moral subjects” like this one and A Harlot’s Progress (1731) offer cautionary tales on contemporary topics and were wildly popular during his own time. Even today, Hogarth’s works are considered as recognizable elements of London’s rich visual culture. As part of our interactive discussion of A Rake’s Progress, we’ll look at both the paintings and corresponding engravings for this visual narrative along with an overview of Hogarth’s techniques used to create the series.
