1752
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Paul before Felix is a 1752 ink by William Hogarth, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a crowded courtroom scene with a group of people gathered around a seated judge. One man stands tall, pointing upward as if making a speech, while others react—some looking worried, others confused. The room has grand architecture with columns and a balcony, and a dramatic curtain hangs in the background. The text below hints this is a story about justice, with the speaker likely arguing for fairness. The artist used sharp lines to show emotions and movement in the figures.
