Curator Pick of the MonthLabel
William Hogarth (1697-1764), an English painter and printmaker, was known for his satirical prints and social commentary. This month’s curator pick is the print The Good Samaritan after a painting by Hogarth in 1736-1737 which is hanging in St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, England. The scene illustrates a passage from Luke 9:30-34, where a wounded and robbed Israelite is treated by a Samaritan. This is a later print published in 1803 by G. & I. Robbinson.
