They are beginning a journey, a 'peregrination' that will take them through the gritty streets of Georgian London and along the River Thames as far as the Isle of Sheppey. And among them is an up-and-coming engraver and painter, just beginning to make a name for himself: William Hogarth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHogarth's vision, to a vast degree, still defines the eighteenth century. In this, the first biography for over twenty years, Jacqueline Riding brings him to vivid life, immersing us in the world he inhabited and from which he drew inspiration. At the same time, she introduces us to an artist who was far bolder and more various than we give him credit for: an ambitious self-made man, a devoted husband, a sensitive portraitist, an unmatched storyteller, philanthropist, technical innovator and author of a seminal work of art theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHogarth: Life in Progress\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eilluminates the work and life of a great artist who embraced the highest principles even while charting humanity's lowest vices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eA \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eSunday Times \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eBest Paperback of 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristie's Best Art Books of the Year\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Deft and richly detailed ... rescues the artist from John Bull caricature'  \u003cstrong\u003eMichael Prodger, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'The full technicolour panorama of Georgian life laid out in a huge and passionate book' \u003cstrong\u003eLucy Worsley\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePLEASE NOTE: This book is a NON-MINT item.
