关于作品

A rich man’s son, Tom Rakewell, has just gambled away a fortune in White’s Club in London. Kneeling, he prays for God’s help. Fire breaks out behind him, but men gamble away, unaware of impending danger. Hogarth devoted a series of eight paintings to Tom’s wasteful lifestyle, which he later issued in print. Incidentally, it ended badly for Tom: he was thrown into debtors’ prison and ultimately landed in a mental institution.

    Founds the St Martin’s Lane Academy

    In 1735 Hogarth founded the St Martin’s Lane Academy in London — in essence a drawing studio that grew out of a circle of painters, draughtsmen and engravers who met at Slaughter’s coffee house on St Martin’s Lane. It became a forerunner of the Royal Academy of Arts and spread new artistic ideas in England.

    “Hogarth’s Act”: copyright for engravings

    When the success of the two series produced numerous pirated copies, Hogarth lobbied Parliament for a law protecting engravers: the Engravers’ Copyright Act, known as “Hogarth’s Act”, became law on 25 June 1735 — the first copyright law to cover visual works and to recognise the authorial rights of an individual artist.
