About the Item
This 21" x 18" etching was produced by William Hogarth in the mid-18th century. The work has been newly matted and framed with archival materials. The subject, identified as James Caulfield, 4th Viscount, 1st Earl of Charlemont (1728-1799), became commander in chief of the Irish Volunteers in 1780. A collector of the arts, he became first president of the Royal Irish Academy in 1785. Caulfield is meticulously depicted as the artist has utilized intricate cross-hatching techniques to create tonal depth and texture, especially evident in the sitter’s coat and the background. The portrait is a 1/4 representation, with the sitter's orientation at a 3/4 view. The detailed inscription below the portrait emphasizes the sitter's prominence and authority.
William Hogarth (1697 - 1794)
Hogarth was born in London, the son of an unsuccessful schoolmaster and writer from Westmoreland. After apprenticeship to a goldsmith, he began to produce his own engraved designs from 1710. He later took up oil painting, starting with small portrait groups called conversation pieces. He went on to create a series of paintings satirising contemporary customs, but based on earlier Italian prints, of which the first was ‘The Harlot’s Progress’ (1731), and perhaps the most famous ‘The Rake’s Progress’. His engravings were so plagiarised that he lobbied for the Copyright Act of 1735 as protection for writers and artists.

William Hogarth
William Hogarth (1697-1764) was an English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic, and editorial cartoonist. Hogarth's work was extremely diverse, ranging from serious realistic paintings and portraits to satire and moralistic pieces filled with symbolism. He often communicated his moral message in a series of paintings and engravings, such as: A Rake's Progress, Marriage A-la-Mode and A Harlot's Progress. He was by far the most significant English artist of his generation and inspired a movement of English caricaturists and satirists, including James Gillray (1756-1815), Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827), Isaac Cruickshank (1764-1811) and George Cruickshank (1792-1878). His work has been studied intensely for the greater than two and a half centuries since his death with several academic scholars focusing their careers on the analysis of every element of each of his creations.
