1753
The treatise “The Analysis of Beauty”
In 1753 Hogarth published the treatise “The Analysis of Beauty”, in which he declared the S-shaped “line of beauty” — a serpentine line that conveys life and movement — the basis of harmony, and made it his emblem. His adherents praised the book as a fine statement on aesthetics, while enemies and rivals such as Paul Sandby mocked its obscurities and minor errors in endless caricatures.
1757
Serjeant Painter to the King
In 1757 George II appointed Hogarth Serjeant Painter to the King, successor to James Thornhill, who had held the post before him.
