"Reverend William Hogan" is an oil on canvas portrait by the American artist John Neagle, painted in 1830. The painting depicts William Hogan, a controversial Irish-born clergyman who was known for his conflicts with the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy in Philadelphia. Neagle, an acclaimed portraitist of the early 19th century, was known for his realistic depictions and attention to detail, which is evident in this work.

The portrait is significant for its historical context as well as its artistry. Hogan was involved in a public dispute with Bishop Henry Conwell and was eventually excommunicated, which led to a schism in the Philadelphia Catholic community. Neagle's portrayal of Hogan captures the clergyman's defiant spirit at a time when he was challenging ecclesiastical authority. The painting is characterized by Neagle's skillful use of light and shadow, which brings a sense of depth and realism to the subject.

"Reverend William Hogan" is part of the collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum, where it contributes to the narrative of American religious and art history. The work is an example of Neagle's portraiture that extends beyond mere representation, offering insight into the personality and circumstances of the sitter. It remains an important piece for scholars studying both the period's art and the socio-religious dynamics of early 19th-century America.
