A Midnight Modern Conversation 1730 Oil on canvas

Sigismunda Mourning over the Heart of Guiscardo 1759 This was Hogarth's most deliberate attempt to prove that modern English painters could handle heroic themes as convincingly as the revered Italian Old Masters. His chosen subject was the moment from Boccaccio's "Decameron" when the tragic princess discovers the murder of her lover after the murderers send her his heart in a golden goblet. The work was received with such harsh criticism that Hogarth all but abandoned painting for the last years of his life. Canvas; 1004 x 1265 mm N01046
