Observation and Analysis of william hogarth paintings
The paintings of ‘Beer Street’ and ‘Gin Lane’ are perfect examples of William Hogarths intent to send a message to people through his art. The English painter lived during the eighteenth century and was very involved in society. He painted these prints as a set. They were meant to be viewed together. Hogarth’s message is strong and clear when looking deep into these prints. ‘Beer Street’ and ‘Gin Lane’ portray a strong contrast between the ideals of good and evil during eighteenth century England.When quickly viewing these prints a general conclusion is drawn. ‘Beer Street’ is a healthy and prosperous area. ‘Gin Lane’ is poverty stricken and ful of chaos. Even the titles exhibit a difference of good and evil. ‘Beer Street’ refers the ideal result of people drinking good English beer, which at the time was healthier than the tap water. ‘Gin Lane’ refers to the very strong, new alcoholic drink which had to be imported. Without even looking deep into these prints you can already get a sense of what Hogarth is trying to imply. It’s when you take a deeper look at the prints that all the supporting details pop out.
