"Garrick in the Character of Richard the 3rd" is a renowned painting by the eminent English artist William Hogarth, created in 1745. This artwork captures the celebrated actor David Garrick in one of his most iconic roles, that of Richard III from William Shakespeare's historical play "Richard III." Hogarth, known for his satirical and moralistic themes, diverged in this work to focus on the dramatic arts, showcasing his versatility and deep appreciation for the theater.

The painting is a vivid depiction of a climactic moment from the play, specifically the night before the Battle of Bosworth Field, where Richard is haunted by the ghosts of those he has murdered. Garrick is portrayed in a dramatic pose, his expression a mixture of terror and defiance, which effectively conveys the psychological torment of the character. Hogarth's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the costume and the atmospheric setting, which enhances the overall tension and drama of the scene.

David Garrick, one of the most influential figures in 18th-century theater, was renowned for his dynamic and naturalistic acting style, which revolutionized the portrayal of Shakespearean characters. Hogarth's painting not only immortalizes Garrick's performance but also serves as a testament to the close relationship between the visual and performing arts during this period.

The artwork is celebrated for its historical significance and artistic merit, reflecting Hogarth's skill in capturing the essence of theatrical performance. It remains an important piece in the study of both Hogarth's oeuvre and the history of English theater, illustrating the enduring legacy of Shakespeare's works and the actors who brought them to life. Today, "Garrick in the Character of Richard the 3rd" is housed in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, where it continues to be admired by art enthusiasts and historians alike.
