"The Rake's Progress" is a series of eight paintings and engravings by the English artist William Hogarth, created in 1732-1734. The series depicts the decline and fall of Tom Rakewell, the spendthrift son of a rich merchant, who squanders his fortune on luxurious living, prostitution, and gambling. The narrative begins with Tom inheriting his father's wealth, followed by a series of events that lead to his ultimate downfall and incarceration in Bedlam, the notorious mental asylum.

Hogarth designed this work to serve as a moral lesson that shows the consequences of leading a life of vice and folly. Each painting in the series is packed with intricate detail and rich symbolism, reflecting Hogarth's critical view of the society of his time. The progression of Tom's life from riches to rags was a commentary on the Georgian society's increasing materialism and moral decline.

"The Rake's Progress" is widely regarded as one of Hogarth's masterpieces and has been influential in both art and literature. The series was engraved and published, making it accessible to a broader audience and ensuring its commercial success. Today, the original paintings are held in the collection of Sir John Soane's Museum in London, where they continue to attract scholarly attention and public interest. The series has inspired numerous adaptations and remains a significant work for studies in 18th-century English art and culture.
