If you
leave Cheswick House gardens by the northernmost exit, beyond the
Italian garden, it's just a short walk along the thunderous A4 road to
Hogarth's House, where the artist spent each summer from 1749
until his death in 1764. Nowadays it's difficult to believe Hogarth came
here for "peace and quiet", but in the eighteenth century the house was
almost entirely surrounded by countryside.
Amongst the scores of Hogarth's engravings, you can see copies of his
satirical series - An Election, Marriage à la Mode, A
Rake's Progress and A Harlot's Progress - and compare the
modern view from the parlor with the more idyllic scene in Mr
Ranby's House.
