EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Characters and Caricaturas, 1807, (1827)" captures the essence of William Hogarth's response to criticism regarding his characters being labeled as caricatures. The image showcases a clear distinction between characterisation and caricature through examples depicted above and below. In the upper section of the print, we see three character figures inspired by Raphael's style. These figures represent a more realistic portrayal of individuals with subtle facial expressions and features that reflect their unique personalities. On the contrary, the lower section presents four exaggerated caricatures after artists such as Annibale Carracci, Pier Leone Ghezzi, and Leonardo da Vinci. These caricatures emphasize distorted features for satirical purposes. The engraving is based on Hogarth's original work from 1743 and was published in London in 1807 by Longman, Hurst, Rees & Orme. It is part of "The Works of William Hogarth". Volume II compiled by The Rev. John Trusler in 1827. This black-and-white print serves as a testament to Hogarth's artistic genius in capturing human nature through both characterisation and exaggeration. It highlights his ability to create thought-provoking social commentary while showcasing his mastery over various artistic techniques influenced by Renaissance artists like Leonardo da Vinci. Overall, this image invites viewers to contemplate the fine line between portraying characters realistically versus employing satire through exaggerated features—a timeless debate that continues to shape our understanding of art even centuries later.
