Melody Rose for the Sir John Soane’s Museum is the award winning range of four fine bone china plates and a teacup and saucer commissioned by Museum to accompany the Hogarth: Place and Progress exhibition.
Inspired by William Hogarth’s The Rake’s Progress, the series of eight paintings created in 1734 tell the story of Tom Rakewell, a young man who follows a path of vice and self destruction after inheriting a fortune from his miserly father, finally ending up deranged and penniless in Bedlam, after his failure to establish himself in society.
The paintings are not only a renowned work of art and social commentary but their cautionary tale still holds the same fascination, importance and relevance today.
For the project, the work is deconstructed to follow the story of several central characters highlighting moments of particular scandal and tears. It’s not all doom and gloom, there’s vice, humour and playfulness in the work which fit in well with the Melody Rose signature style giving a contemporary twist to the tale.
