EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Time smoking a picture, 1761" by William Hogarth captures the essence of an allegorical figure known as Time. This satirical artwork reflects Hogarth's belief that art connoisseurs only value paintings based on their age. The image was originally intended as a subscription ticket for an engraving of Hogarth's ill-fated painting, Sigismunda. In this black and white etching from the 18th century, Time is depicted with a pipe in one hand and a scythe in the other, symbolizing his power over life and death. He is seen leisurely smoking while holding up a picture, mocking the notion that age alone determines artistic worth. Hogarth skillfully uses monochrome tones to emphasize the concept behind this piece. The artist challenges traditional notions of art appreciation by highlighting how critics often prioritize historical significance rather than artistic merit. This artwork can be found at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, serving as a testament to Hogarth's wit and talent during the eighteenth century artistic school. It serves as a reminder that true appreciation for art should transcend time and focus on its inherent beauty rather than its mere age or historical context.
