Episode 11/12 To mark 250 years since William Hogarth's death, ceramics expert and self-confessed Hogarth fanatic Lars Tharp is determined to solve a mystery that has consumed his personal and professional life - the case of Hogarth's lost pug.
In this unique shaggy dog story, Tharp explains Hogarth's obsession with this most characterful of breeds and the pivotal role it played in his life and his work. A canine odyssey that only examines one of his most iconic works of art, but leads us into a world of satire, salaciousness and secrets. From harlots and rakes to the shadowy machinations of the freemasons, Tharp's ultimate goal is to lead an appeal to the nation to help him recover a rare piece of long-lost Hogarth memorabilia - a precious terracotta sculpture of his beloved pet pug.
I love my little pug . And I really enjoyed this , thank you .
I live near Chiswick, London, where Hogarth lived. There is a statue of him and his pug in his memory
Fantastic! What amazing story-telling skills
I have a whole set of these prints from 1832. The books themselves have come apart but the prints are in excellent condition.
Oh my god, I want one of those little sculptures! Are they absolutely priceless at this point or can one be purchased still today?
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 👏
“The Pugs Progress”. From breathing to breathing problems....due to popular tastes. So sad.
It's fascinating how much better Hogarth's pug looked than our own.Longer legs, more defined muzzle. We ruined a healthy dog for vanity breeding.
What am I watching? A ceramics expert doing art documentaries of painters!
I wish they left pugs like that, as with older Persian cats, before deforming their snouts. Poor things with breathing problems now, Awful.
"The man who satirizes possessions and conspicuous consumption" calls his dog Trump! Lol.
A = 1, B = 2....Z = 26 THE PUG = 20 +8 + 5 + 16 + 21 + 7 = 77 HOGARTH = 8 + 15 + 7 + 1 + 18 + 20 + 8 = 77. Now you know why he was attracted to a pug!
That's not fat, it's loose skin. Get your doggy facts before waxing wise please.
When life seemed normal and good documentaries!! Now 2022 who would of thought wot life would be like! Corna! World war on rise! Shortage of gas electricity and food prices going up! This is our new normal.
