About the event

TASH TALK - September 18th 2025: Hogarth at the Hustings (by Rupert Dickens)
HOGARTH AT THE HUSTINGS: The Election Entertainment Series and the Birth of Political Satire

TIMINGS: Morning Lecture & Online @ 10:45 / Afternoon Lecture @ 14:15.

At the root of the long British tradition of political satire is William Hogarth’s Election Entertainment series of paintings and prints from the 1750s, setting the stage for later generations of satirists. We will look closely at the series, explain Hogarth’s many jokes and references and reveal some themes with surprising topical relevance, from voter identification to the politics of immigration.

After 26 years as a BBC journalist, Rupert Dickens is now an Art Historian based in south London with a special interest in Dutch and Flemish 16th and 17th century painting. He works at The Wallace Collection as a guide and also as a tour director accompanying groups on art themed tours to European cities.
