William (1697) Hogarth Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, copperplate engraver, Etcher, Caricaturist, Miniature painter, b. 1697 - d. 1764

William Hogarth's artwork ran the gamut from portraiture to more satirical works. William Hogarth's paintings were influenced by French and Italian paintings and engravings of the human form. As a realist, his paintings took on the expression and movement of humanity and often depicted the more undesirable parts of society. Hogarth prints vary from weddings to traveling showgirls and festivals.

William Hogarth's artwork also included engravings that were so frequently copied that he lobbied for the Copyright Act of 1735 to help protect him and his fellow artists. His satirical engravings and work in literary endeavors remain among his most recognizable works to this day. Around the 1740s, he began doing sittings of middle-class personalities. You can buy antique portrait paintings online or at auction to bring character and personality to your home.

    William Hogarth (1697-1764) John Wilkes Esqr Drawn from the Life and Etch'd in Aquafortis. Publish'd according to Act of Pariament May ye 16 1763. Etching with engraving and stipple engraving on wove paper (no watermark), plate size 35.8 x 23.4cm, sheet size 39.8 x 26.4cm, priced 1 shilling in the plate, remnants of paper mount adhering to verso [Paulson 214.1] First state of one of the best-known political caricatures of the 18th century, showing the radical politician holding the cap of Liberty while seated next to numbers 17 and 45 of his newspaper, the North Briton, established to attack the Bute ministry which Wilkes viewed as a vehicle for a Scottish and Jacobite takeover of English government. Numbers 17 and 45 respectively contained attacks on Hogarth for accepting the patronage of George III, and on George III himself for the disadvantageous terms of the Treaty of Paris, which brought to an end the Seven Years' War. Hogarth's grotesque depiction of his adversary backfired and became adopted as an emblem of the radical movement.

    Est: $100 - $200

    William Hogarth (1697-1764) English, "A Harlot's Progress" Engraving Print. Depicts plate #6 from one of his most famous series. Attribution bottom right, number of plate bottom left, both in print. No glass. Original label on reverse.  Overall Size: 24 x 29 in.  Sight Size: 13 1/4 x 16 1/4 in.  #5055   William Hogarth was born on November 10th, 1697 in London into a lower-middle-class family. In his youth he took up an apprenticeship with the engraver Ellis Gamble, but did not complete it as his father underwent periods of mixed fortune, and was at one time imprisoned in lieu of payment of outstanding debts, an event that is thought to have informed William’s style and subject matter. In 1720 Hogarth enrolled at the original St. Martin’s Lane Academy in Peter Court, London, which was run by Louis Chéron and John Vanderbank. However, the academy seems to have stopped operating in 1724, around the same time that Vanderbank fled to France in order to avoid creditors. Hogarth then enrolled in another drawing school in Covent Garden which was run by Sir James Thornhill, Serjeant Painter to the King. Hogarth became a member of the Rose and Crown Club, and was by then a well-regarded engraver in his own right. In 1727 he was hired by Joshua Morris, a tapestry worker, to prepare a design for the Element of Earth. In the following years he turned his attention to the production of small “conversation pieces” (groups in oil of full-length portraits from 12 to 15 inches high). Some of his best regarded works were of actors, dignitaries, and prisoners awaiting their execution. In 1729 he eloped with Jane Thornhill, the daughter of his mentor. In 1731 Hogarth completed the earliest of his series of moral works, A Harlot’s Progress, a body of work that led to wide recognition and an almost immediate sequel, A Rake’s Progress. When their success resulted in numerous pirated reproductions, Hogarth lobbied in Parliament for greater legal control given to artists over their work. The result was the Engravers’ Copyright Act (known generally as “Hogarth’s Act”), which went into effect in 1735 and was the first English copyright law to deal with visual works, as well as the first to recognize the authorial rights of an individual artist. More and more influenced by French and Italian painting and engraving, Hogarth’s became famous throughout Europe for their mostly satirical caricatures, sometimes bawdily sexual, in frankly realistic portraiture. They were mass-produced via multiple printmakers in his lifetime, making him one of the most significant successful English artists of his generation, and his subjects, like forced marriages, alcoholism, dehumanizing industrial work, and class divisions even sparked open debates and social reforms. Hogarth was also a popular portrait painter, establishing a genre of theatrical portraiture by inserting contemporary subjects into historical events and themes. Either despite or because of his success, however, he did not earn a strong reputation among other artists of his day, often criticized for his subject matter, exacting detail, and prolific output. His main home was in Leicester Square, but he bought a country retreat in Chiswick in 1749 now known as Hogarth’s House, and spent much of the rest of his life there. The Hogarths had no children, but fostered many foundling children, and he was a founding Governor of the Foundling Hospital. Hogarth wrote and published his ideas of artistic design in his book The Analysis of Beauty (1753), and later followed it with Apology for Painters (1761). He was working on an autobiography when he died suddenly from convulsions (likely an aneurysm) on October 26th, 1764. His influence on continental book illustrations lasted throughout the 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries, and had an effect on the work of painters, writers, and musicians across Europe and beyond.

    William Hogarth (1697 - 1764) The Times, Plate II

    Est: $200 - $300

    Fourth state of four; 9 1/8" x 11 7/8", printed on an early laid type paper; foxing in border area.   "Created in 1762, this engraving is thought to have been brought by the artist's wife to Boydell of London for publication in 1790.  These engravings have a complicated publishing history. Plate ‘b’ was unfinished at Hogarth’s death and it is unclear whether this first proof state was published by Mrs Hogarth late in life or as the first of the sequence of later states by Boydell after 1790. To further complicate the issue, the contemporary collector George Stevens (1736-1800) has written on his copy of this state that it was ‘taken during the life time of Hogarth’, but it was not until June 1781 that he (according to Malone’s letter to Lord Charlemont) ‘ransacked Mrs. Hogarth's house for obsolete and unfinished plates’, so perhaps the inscription may be taken with a pinch of salt. (sic) With The Times Plate I Hogarth took a decisive political, and at this time unpopular position to support the peace movement against the Seven Years' War (also called the French Indian War) spearheaded by King George III and his chief advisor, Lord Bute. Bute's opponent and leader of the Commons, William Pitt, supported the interests of the war and the economic profit derived from the colonial exploitations it permitted. In this first state Henry VIII (Pitt in later states) marches on stilts to fan the fires of war which the Union Officer of the King is trying to extinguish with a fire engine. William Beckford, the Lord Mayor and Pitt follower, who made a fortune through tobacco and sugar plantations in Jamaica, appears in the doorway on the left and points to a signboard advertising a naked Indian that reads 'Alive from America.' In the foreground women die of starvation in the street and a drunken fiddler plays his violin. Plate II of The Times depicts a more peaceful and prosperous Britain. Plants are nourished by water spouting from the monument of George III, with the elegant Lord Bute as the chief gardener of the State, controlling access to the King. A gigantic palette dangling from the facade of a newly-erected public building indicates that under the reign of the young King art flourishes. 'Ms Fanny' (a reference to the Cock Lane Ghost) and 'Wilkes', a fervent opponent of the King and Bute, appear in the pillory, while to the left those few members of Parliament who are still awake, including Pitt with bandaged legs, shoot at the dove of peace in the sky." (Gallery notes)
