The story of love, lust and an artist's muse who inspired his most famous work is chronicled in this outstanding production. Artist William Hogarth's (Toby Jones, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) relationship with prostitute Mary Collins (Zoe Tapper, Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont) in 1731 brought the obscure artist fame, wealth and respectability by tracing her degraded demise. Hogarth's "A Harlot's Progress," his famed series of six paintings inspired by Collins, also raised the thorny issue of moralizing art. Discover the controversial inspiration behind one of the most famous sequences in British art.
