William Hogarth Paper

Many of William Hogarth’s artworks could be described as Satirical Artwork. The book says that he saw himself as “translating satire into the visual arts”.
Write a one page document about his series of paintings that commented on marriage within English society and its newly prosperous middle class. Describe how he used satire to visually talk about his views about the bourgeoisie. You may use the painting “Marriage a La Mode 1745” as an example.
