Painting Description
"The Roast Beef of Old England, &c" is a celebrated painting by the English artist William Hogarth, completed in 1748. Also known as "The Gate of Calais," this artwork is a satirical commentary on the perceived differences between English and French society, particularly in terms of national cuisine and general prosperity. The painting was created following Hogarth's own experience of being arrested as a spy while sketching in Calais, France.
The scene is set at the gate of Calais and prominently features a large side of roasted beef being carried to an English tavern for the consumption of English sailors and soldiers. This is contrasted with the meager fare and gaunt figures of the French bystanders, which Hogarth used to underscore the robust health and wealth of his countrymen compared to the poverty he observed in France. The painting is rich in symbolism and detail, including a depiction of a French friar eyeing the beef with envy, which serves to critique the Catholic Church and French society.
"The Roast Beef of Old England, &c" is not only a work of art but also a piece of political and social commentary, reflecting Hogarth's patriotic sentiments and his views on the superiority of British culture. The painting is held in high esteem for its technical skill, its layered meanings, and its place within the broader context of 18th-century European art and politics. It is part of the collection at Tate Britain in London, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its historical significance and artistic merit.
