1735 Ceremony Cob Web Hogarth Poor Progress Quarrelling Rake Spider Vicar


EDITORS COMMENTS
The Rakes Progress 5: A Marriage Ceremony" is a captivating print from the iconic series "The Rakes Progress" by the renowned English artist William Hogarth, created in 1735. This historical masterpiece, now available as a print from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the fifth plate of the eight-part sequence that chronicles the downward spiral of a young man named Tom Rakewell, who, having inherited a fortune, falls prey to the vices of gambling, drinking, and women. In this particular plate, Tom, now a penniless rake, stands before the vicar in a tattered coat, his once-fashionable attire a distant memory. His bride, a plain and seemingly uninterested woman, is veiled and stands next to him, her expression one of resignation. The cobweb-covered church walls and the spider's web in the foreground serve as a stark reminder of the passing of time and the inevitable consequences of Tom's reckless behavior. The marriage ceremony, a customary event in 18th-century England, is depicted with intricate detail, from the ornate box containing the marriage license to the attire of the wedding guests. The quarreling couple, surrounded by the disapproving glares of the congregation, underscores the societal expectations and the harsh realities of marriage during this era. This print, with its rich historical context and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the past and provides a fascinating look at the societal norms and customs of the time. A must-have for history enthusiasts, art collectors, and anyone with an appreciation for the intricacies of human nature, "The Rakes Progress 5: A Marriage Ceremony" is a captivating addition to any collection.
