Ian Hislop on William Hogarth’s ‘Humours of an Election’

Описание к видео Ian Hislop on William Hogarth’s ‘Humours of an Election’

With the UK heading to the polls in just two weeks, we invited the editor of Private Eye and ‘Have I Got News For You’ captain to tell the tale of William Hogarth’s modern moral series ‘The Humours of an Election’, which hangs in Sir John Soane’s extraordinary Picture Room. The four-part masterpiece captures the sublime and ridiculous extremes of a notoriously dodgy Oxfordshire by-election in 1754. For Ian, it’s a testament to Hogarth’s genius and his mastery of many comic elements that writers and satirists still use today! 🎨
