"Night" is one of the four-part series of paintings and engravings titled "The Four Times of the Day" created by the English artist William Hogarth in 1736. This series is a progression of scenes depicting various times of the day, each with a different setting in London. "Night" specifically portrays the chaotic and humorous aftermath of an evening in the district of Charing Cross, characterized by its dark and satirical representation of urban nightlife in the 18th century.

In "Night," Hogarth illustrates the rowdy and disordered end to the day, with a scene set against the backdrop of a dark, smoky sky, which suggests the occurrence of the event after a long day of festivities and excess. The central focus of the composition is a drunken Freemason, who can be identified by his apron and disheveled state, being carried to his carriage. The surrounding characters include a pie seller whose pies have been overturned by the Freemason's fall, and a group of raucous individuals who add to the sense of disorder and revelry.

The painting is rich in allegory and symbolism, with Hogarth using the cover of night to explore themes of vice, social decay, and the folly of human behavior. The dimly lit, chaotic atmosphere serves as a stark contrast to the orderly and well-lit scenes of the other engravings in the series, such as "Morning" and "Noon," which depict more genteel and structured activities of London society.

"Night" and the rest of "The Four Times of the Day" series were well-received in Hogarth's time and remain significant as historical documents of London life, as well as for their artistic merit and innovative narrative style. The series showcases Hogarth's skill in social commentary and his ability to capture the essence of the human condition through his detailed and expressive imagery. "Night," in particular, is a testament to Hogarth's mastery of the genre of satirical genre painting and his keen observation of the vibrant, albeit often chaotic, urban life of his era.
