William Hogarth: Select Prints

It is not an overstatement to characterize William Hogarth as pioneering and revolutionary. For his time he was avant-garde, cutting-edge, and shocking in his depiction of audacious subject matter.

Featured Artwork

Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617)

Hercules and Cacus

1588

410 x 330 mm. 16 1/8 x 13 in.

Chiaroscuro woodcut

Hollstein 373; Bialler 25, first state of six, apparently unique in this color combination, brown outline with ochre and green tone blocks

Galerie Bassenge, Berlin; 2000 to David Tunick, Inc.

Goltzius’ compositionally complex woodcut captures the antique story of Hercules slaying the fire-breathing Cacus, who had terrorized Sicily and stolen Geryon’s cattle. The dramatic action takes place in Cacus’ bone-strewn cave, with the cows at the right. Its virtuostic display of the figures’ musculature exemplifies the mannerist style Goltzius took up from Bartholomaeus Spranger and Carel van Mander, which is here invigorated by the rhythm of the color tones.

Edvard Munch (1863-1944)

Mondschein (Moonlight)

1896

398 x 464 mm. 15 5/8 x 18 1/4 in.

Woodcut printed in five colors on medium weight, white-cream wove paper

Woll 90 and Woll 202; Robison-Prelinger, Edvard Munch, Master Prints, National Gallery of Art, Washington, 2010, p. 99, pl. 39

Christie’s London, 3 July 1992, lot 475; to David Tunick, Inc., New York; 1992 to Private collection, U.S.A.; 2022 to David Tunick Inc., New York

Elizabeth Prelinger and Andrew Robison (see above under “references”) are clearer and more explicative in their discussion of this work than the Woll catalogue raisonné as to how Munch develops the image and states from its inception as a woodcut in 1896 until its full development by 1913. Our impression is an example of the print in its finished form, but different from the final version described in the Prelinger-Robison book this way: “color woodcut from three blocks (recto and verso of the original keyblock and one block sawn into three pieces) in orange, light green, and dark green on [white] Japan paper.” Our impression has five colors: black, light green, dark green, orange, and brown. The image is multi-layered and complex - handsome and at the same time haunting.
