Exploring Hogarth's House

The artistic achievements of the 18th Century painter and engraver, William Hogarth, can be seen on the walls of some of the UK's leading galleries. But for the past three years, by a busy road in west London, work has been going on to protect Hogarth's personal legacy.

Lars Tharp - one of the longest serving experts on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One's Antiques Roadshow and leading member of the Hogarth Trust - showed Radio 4's around Hogarth's newly refurbished home, and explained why he found the artist's work so enthralling.
