"A Scene from the Beggar's Opera 1728-29" is a celebrated painting by the English artist William Hogarth, depicting a moment from John Gay's ballad opera "The Beggar's Opera" which premiered in 1728. The painting captures the climactic scene of Act III, where the opera's anti-hero, Macheath, stands chained, surrounded by his lovers, the duplicitous Polly Peachum and the scheming Lucy Lockit, as well as other characters from the opera. Hogarth's work is renowned for its vibrant portrayal of the characters and its satirical edge, reflecting the social and political subtext of Gay's opera.

Hogarth, who was a friend of John Gay, created this artwork as both a tribute to the success of "The Beggar's Opera" and a commentary on the society of the time. The opera itself was a satirical masterpiece that challenged the conventions of Italian opera and the corruption in politics and society. Hogarth's painting echoes this by capturing the energy and the critical spirit of the opera. The artwork is notable for its detailed characterizations and its use of lighting to draw attention to the central figures of the scene.

The painting is considered an important work in Hogarth's oeuvre and is often cited as a significant example of 18th-century British art. It showcases Hogarth's skill in narrative art and his ability to intertwine moral commentary with entertainment. "A Scene from the Beggar's Opera 1728-29" remains an influential piece that continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance, offering insight into the cultural landscape of 18th-century England.
