The present work is the fourth in a series of monumental paintings based on Stravinksy's opera The Rake's Progress, which itself was based on William Hogarth's series of paintings and engravings detailing a man's downward journey ending in imprisonment in Bedlam. The Rake series were exhibited at Flower's East in 1996.
