'''William Hogarth''' (London, 10 November, 1697 – London, 25 October, 1764) was one of the greatest innovators in [[English]] art. He was a professional rebel. He found English art sycophantic, and determined to make it independent. Instead of working for a few rich patrons, he evolved the idea of making his living out of popular engravings of his pictures. He believed that the lack of a native [[Painting Schools|school of painting]] was largely due to the fashions imposed on a credulous public by connoisseurs and critics and he waged continual war on taste and the Old Masters.
