'Four Times of The Day' by William Hogarth

In his series of paintings 'Four Times of The Day', William Hogarth portrayed London as a divided city, where high society rubbed shoulders with the capital’s grimy and chaotic underclass.

Hogarth abandoned artifice to take a humorous look at β€˜urban life in the raw', depicting drunks, beggars, immigrants and whores, jostling on the busy streets of 18th century London.
