William Hogarth is unquestionably one of the greatest English artists
and a man of remarkably individual character and thought. He is the
great innovator in English art. On one hand, he was the first to paint
themes from Shakespeare, Milton and the theater, and the founder of a
wholly original genre of moral history, which was long known as
Hogarthian. On the other, he investigated the aesthetic principles of
his art, which resulted in his book “The Analysis of Beauty”(1753).
