Abstract

Opposition between “English” and “French” repeatedly appears in William Hogarth’s satirical prints. This is especially evident in his political satire – motives of French art directed against the French themselves. Thus, a kind of contradiction can be revealed: on the one hand, Hogarth uses the artistic language of the French culture; on the other hand, the everlasting antagonism and national mentality force him to demonstrate superiority and to satirize the opponents.
