Abstract

The exhibition about william hogarth at the Louvre museum is an essential one for many reasons. First of all, it is the first time that such a retrospect is held in France to honor the British painter. Besides, it is the occasion to discover or rediscover this genius artist admired by the intellectual sphere of his time, but almost forgotten in France. The retrospect shows each stage in hogarth's career which led him to his major purpose, the creation of a British School of Painting. The association of Olivier Meslay, curator at the Louvre, and Frederic Ogee, professor in British studies, makes it possible to replace hogarth's work in its historical and intellectual context. First known as an engraver, hogarth started his art by depicting the social satire with a hint of moral and humor. In the 18th century, London had become the scene of popular events which inspired the young artist.
