Hogarth's House, Grade I listed house museum in Chiswick, England
Description
Hogarth's House is a Georgian residence in Chiswick featuring original architectural details and a kitchen wing added in 1769. The building now operates as a museum with a half-acre garden planted with fruit trees.
History
William Hogarth, a prominent English painter and engraver, moved into this house in 1749 and lived here until his death in 1764. The property became his country retreat during the final years of his career.
Culture
The house displays original prints by Hogarth, including works like Beer Street and Gin Lane that comment on London life and social problems. These pieces show how he used images to expose the lives of ordinary people and criticize what he saw around him.
Practical
The museum sits close to the River Thames and offers free entry to visitors. A modern learning facility housed in the Weston studio provides resources for exploring the collection.
Did you know?
The garden contains a mulberry tree from the early 18th century that belonged to the earlier Downes family who owned the property. This tree predates Hogarth's arrival and has survived for generations.
