The Satirical Eye: comedy and critique from Hogarth to Daumier explores the Golden Age of satirical prints and drawings in Europe, focusing on the period 1730–1870. William Hogarth’s images of London street life, with all its chaos and transgressions, set the stage for the next generation of English satirists Thomas Rowlandson, James Gillray and George Cruikshank.

Their audacious prints range from political satires that were aimed directly at prominent public figures, to scenarios that highlight fashions, fads and social manners as subjects of mockery reaching a wide audience and creating a means for gossip and debate.

The works in The Satirical Eye reveal something about human nature, as well as commenting on historically specific situations and individuals.
