"Bedlam" by William Hogarth, 1735

"Bedlam", an engraving by the English artist William Hogarth (1697-1764), depicting mentally disturbed patients on a ward at the Bethlehem Hospital, London. The original engraving was published in 1735 and comprised plate 8 in the series "The Rake's Progress". Dissolution of character and destructive self-indulgence have resulted in the Rake (semi-naked, bottom left) to be admitted to the lunatic asylum. Ignored by the other inmates, he is comforted by a kind-hearted woman whilst the attendants fit him with legirons. His incarceration is serenaded by a demonic violin-player, who wears a manuscript on his head.

Título:
"Bedlam" by William Hogarth, 1735
Descripción:
Traducción automática: "Bedlam", un grabado del artista inglés William Hogarth (1697-1764), que representa a pacientes con trastornos mentales en una sala del Hospital Bethlehem de Londres. El grabado original se publicó en 1735 y constituía la lámina 8 de la serie "The Rake's Progress". La disolución del carácter y la autocomplacencia destructiva han dado lugar a que el libertino (semianude, abajo a la izquierda) sea admitido en el manicomio. Ignorado por los demás internos, es consolado por una mujer de buen corazón mientras los asistentes le colocan legiones. Su encarcelamiento es amenizado por un violinista demoníaco, que lleva un manuscrito en la cabeza.
