First published in 1962, Hogarth and his Place in European Art
attempts to convey the historical relevance, both in its native and
European context, of perhaps the most outstanding English painter
of the eighteenth century. Dr. Antal applies his method of
establishing the close relationship between the political and
social history and the arts and letters of the period. Thus, the
book goes far beyond the limits of art historical appreciation. It
gives a panoramic picture of the first half of the eighteenth
century in England with all its social, literary, and artistic
connotations. He shows how England, which during those years became
both politically and economically the most advanced country in
Europe, could provide in Hogarth, in spite of the slender native
tradition, the most progressive artistic personality of his time -
whose work revealed the views and tastes of a broad cross-section
of society. He traces Hogarth's stylistic origins back to their
European sources and analyses his impact on contemporary European
and English art as well as the influence he exerted on generations
to come. This book will be of interest to students of art, art
history, literature, and European history.
