Légende

'Burlesque on Kent's Altarpiece at St Clement Danes', c1725. William Kent painted an altarpiece for St Clement Danes Church, London, commissioned by the parishioners. However, they were disappointed when the painting was unveiled and petitioned the Bishop of London, Edmund Gibson, to remove it. It was removed to the vestry during September 1725, although it was borrowed from time to time by the Crown and Anchor Tavern for its music room. The painting was destroyed in an air raid in 1940. From William Hogarth, by Austin Dobson. [Hachette Et Cie, Paris, 1904]
