Painting Description
''The Four Times of Day: Morning'' is one of a series of four paintings created by the English artist William Hogarth in 1736, which were later engraved in 1738. This series, which also includes ''Noon'', ''Evening'', and ''Night'', depicts scenes from everyday life in London at different times of the day. ''Morning'' portrays the early hours in Covent Garden, a district in the West End of London known for its market and as a social hub.
In ''Morning'', Hogarth captures the bustling activity of the area with a satirical eye. The scene is set against the backdrop of St. Paul's Church, designed by Inigo Jones, and shows a disheveled crowd in the chilly dawn light. The central figure is a shivering, half-dressed woman, often interpreted as a prostitute, who is being ogled by a passing gentleman. The painting is rich with detail and character, showcasing Hogarth's skill in social commentary and his ability to encapsulate the vibrancy and vices of urban life.
Hogarth's work is known for its narrative quality and moralistic undertones, and ''The Four Times of Day'' series is no exception. Each painting in the series is designed to be a critique of the manners and morals of contemporary society, with ''Morning'' focusing on the disarray and debauchery that can be found at the start of the day in the city.
As with many of Hogarth's works, ''The Four Times of Day'' was well-received by the public and contributed to his reputation as a painter who could deftly combine humor with a sharp social critique. ''Morning'', along with its companion pieces, remains an important example of 18th-century genre painting and offers valuable insight into the urban landscape and social customs of Georgian England.
