This print shows a goddess handing a violin to a surprised Apollo. The scene looks playful but has a sharp edge. Hogarth poked fun at classical myths in his art. Back then, music was new to the gods. This print pokes fun at fancy classical stories. It feels almost like a cartoon from 1727. Next time you're in London, check the prints at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
