Frederick Antal claims that the pose of two people
Frederick Antal claims that the pose of two people in the last painting from this series resembles that of a Pieta by Annibale Caracci, in an article about the artist "and his borrowings." In the penultimate image from this series, a telescope pokes its way through a barred window, and a woman at the right of the canvas faints near discarded scraps of paper. Oil from a street lantern is dumped on the head of a man in a painting from this series, in which men with sprigs of leek in their hats nearly arrest him. A foil-carrying fencing master, a violin-clutching dancing master, and a music master at the harpsichord, often said to represent (*) George Handel, appear in the second entry in this series. In the first of these paintings, the protagonist is being measured for new clothes while his servants mourn his dead father. Despite the assistance of Sarah Young, the pregnant fiancee he spurned, the protagonist of this series becomes a debtor and ends up first in Fleet Prison, then in Bedlam Asylum. For 10 points, name this eight-painting series about the libertine Tom, by William Hogarth.
