Hudibras and the Skimmington, plate seven from Hudibras 1725-1726 England. William Hogarth illustrated the story of a sad-sack adventurer named Hudibras in twelve engravings. His source was Samuel Butlerís satirical, mock-heroic poem written in the vein of Cervantes and Rabelais. Ridiculing the puritan partyís attempts to overthrow the British monarchy during the Great Civil War of 1640, Butlerís poem exposes the hypocrisy and pretensions of the Presbyterians, Independents, and Zealots who hoped to establish themselves as leaders.When Hudibras mistakes a traditional parade celebrating nagging wives for a satanic gathering, it quickly turns into a food fight targeted at the erstwhile adventurer ìAt that an Egg let flyóHit him directly oíer the Eye,And running down his Cheek, besmeard,With Orange tawny-slime his Beard.î. Engraving in black on cream paper edge mounted on cream wove paper . William Hogarth

Knight, Death, and the Devil 1513 Albrecht Dürer German Dürer's Knight, Death, and the Devil is one of three large prints of 1513-14 known as his Meisterstiche (master engravings). The other two are Melancholia I and Saint Jerome in His Study. Though not a trilogy in the strict sense, the prints are closely interrelated and complementary, corresponding to the three kinds of virtue in medieval scholasticismtheological, intellectual, and moral. Called simply the Reuter (Rider) by Dürer, Knight, Death, and the Devil embodies the state of moral virtue. The artist may have based his depiction of the "Christian Knight" on an address from Erasmus's Instructions for the Christian Soldier (Enchiridion militis Christiani), published in 1504: "In order that you may not be deterred from the path of virtue because it seems rough and dreary ... and because you must constantly fight three unfair enemiesthe flesh, the devil, and the worldthis third rule shall be proposed to you: all of those spooks

Recruits Going to Join the Regiment ca. 1715-16 Antoine Watteau French Recruits Going to Join the Regiment is part of a group of works depicting military subjects made by Watteau early in his career. As a group, they avoid bloodshed and violence, focusing instead on the mundane aspects of the soldierss itinerant existence. A lively and flickering ink line animates what might otherwise be a dreary subject: young recruits trudging towards a war front to replace soldiers who have deserted or died. Their progress from right to left traces an arabesque across and into the composition, their placement and varied poses suggestive of the elegant and precise moves of contemporary dance. Although reproductive prints were made after much of his painted and drawn oeuvre, etchings by Watteaus own hand are exceedingly rare. He was not trained as a printmaker, but on a few occasions made an initial design with an etching needle on a copper plate that would later be re-worked by a professional print
