EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of William Hogarth's masterpiece, "Goodchilds Free Sunday". Engraved by A H Payne, this artwork is part of Hogarth's moral series titled "Industry and Idleness" which served as a guiding light for 18th-century apprentices. In this particular scene, we witness Goodchild, the diligent apprentice, immersed in his Sunday service at St Martin-in-the-Fields. The architectural beauty of the church and its monument provide a stunning backdrop to this illustration. Hogarth's attention to detail shines through as he depicts the social history of 18th-century England. Through his artistry, he not only showcases Goodchild's devotion but also highlights the significance of Sundays in society during that era. Interestingly enough, there is a connection between Charles Dickens and this piece. It is said that Dickens referenced it in his work called "The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices". As we delve into this print from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to an era where industry and idleness were starkly contrasted. This artwork serves as a reminder of the importance placed on hard work and dedication while providing us with a glimpse into historical architecture and social customs.
