EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Paul Sandby, we are transported back to the 18th century art scene. The image captures a satirical moment featuring renowned artist William Hogarth himself. Perched precariously at the top of a structure, Hogarth is surrounded by an array of other figures below him. The scene cleverly mocks Hogarth's famous "line of beauty" theory, which emphasized the aesthetic appeal of curved lines in art. Here, Sandby humorously portrays Hogarth as if he is balancing on these very lines, defying gravity and common sense. Located outside Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this etching showcases Sandby's skill as both an artist and printmaker. His attention to detail is evident in every figure present - from the funny caricatures to the flags waving in the wind. This artwork not only provides us with a glimpse into 18th-century street life but also offers insight into the profession of artists during that era. It reminds us that even celebrated painters like William Hogarth had their moments of satire and self-mockery. With its monochrome palette and intricate composition, this print serves as a testament to both Sandby's artistic prowess and his ability to capture humorous moments within everyday scenes.
