Painting Description
"Times of the Day: Morning" is one of a series of four paintings created by the English artist William Hogarth in 1736, with engravings published the following year. The series, which includes "Morning," "Noon," "Evening," and "Night," offers a satirical view of the daily life and social habits of 18th-century Londoners. Each painting in the series is a representation of a different time of day, capturing the activities and characters associated with those specific hours in a manner that is both humorous and critical.
In "Morning," Hogarth depicts the early hours in Covent Garden, a district of London known for its fashionable and chaotic atmosphere. The scene is bustling with activity, featuring a diverse range of characters from different social strata. The central figure is often interpreted as a disheveled woman, who is thought to be a sex worker, emerging from a tavern at dawn, hinting at the debauchery that took place the night before. The background is filled with other figures going about their morning routines, including market traders setting up their stalls and a churchgoer ignoring the chaos around them.
The painting is rich in symbolism and detail, with Hogarth using visual cues to comment on the moral decay and social issues of the time. The architecture, the state of the streets, and the attire of the figures all contribute to a narrative that is both a snapshot of daily life and a moralistic commentary on the excesses and follies of contemporary society.
"Times of the Day: Morning" is considered an important work in Hogarth's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in combining fine art with social commentary. The series as a whole is celebrated for its innovative approach to narrative in art and its influence on the development of satirical genres in both painting and printmaking. The original paintings of the "Times of the Day" series are held in various collections, with "Morning" being part of the collection at the Sir John Soane's Museum in London.
