Abstract
The viewer of Hogarth's "Satire on false
perspective" notices many instances of perspectival parody in the picture. Taken as a whole, his picture may be regarded as an emblem for viewing Hogarth's picaresque view of the world as one based on the themes of false perspective, satire, and inversion.
