''A Midnight Modern Conversation'' is an engraving by the English artist William Hogarth, created in 1732. The work is a satirical depiction of a social gathering of men, presumably taking place in the early hours of the morning, given the title's reference to midnight. The scene is set in a tavern or a private room, where the participants are shown in various states of inebriation and disarray, illustrating the excesses and follies of contemporary society.

Hogarth's composition is rich in detail and character, with each figure representing different reactions to alcohol and the social dynamics of the group. The central table is cluttered with drinking vessels, including a punch bowl, which was a common feature in such convivial meetings of the time. The characters range from a man passed out and slumped over the table to others engaged in animated conversation, argument, or solitary contemplation. The disorderly scene is contrasted with the orderly rows of bottles in the background, perhaps suggesting the tension between the controlled production of alcohol and its uncontrolled consumption.

As with many of Hogarth's works, ''A Midnight Modern Conversation'' serves as both a humorous narrative and a moral commentary. It reflects the artist's interest in the lives of ordinary people and his critical eye on the social issues of his day, particularly the theme of excess. The engraving is part of Hogarth's larger body of work, which often combined elements of realism with a moralistic message, using satire to critique and entertain.

The piece is considered an important example of Hogarth's early work and contributes to the understanding of 18th-century British culture and the genre of satirical art. ''A Midnight Modern Conversation'' has been analyzed for its artistic merit, historical context, and its reflection of Hogarth's views on society. It remains a significant work in the study of Hogarth's art and the broader context of English satirical prints of the period.
