''Marriage A-la-Mode'' is a series of six satirical paintings created by William Hogarth between 1743 and 1745 that were later engraved and published as prints. This work is one of Hogarth's most famous series and serves as a pointed critique of the upper-class society of his time, particularly the arranged marriages among the aristocracy for monetary and social gain. The paintings, which are now held in the National Gallery in London, were initially designed to be viewed in sequence, narrating the story of a disastrous marriage between the son of a financially depleted nobleman and the daughter of a wealthy but socially inferior city merchant.

The series begins with ''The Marriage Settlement'' and progresses through ''The Tête à Tête'', ''The Inspection'', ''The Toilette'', ''The Bagnio'', and concludes with ''The Lady's Death''. Each scene is meticulously crafted to convey the moral and social decay inherent in the transactional nature of the marriage depicted. Hogarth's use of symbolism, characterisation, and visual narrative exposes the hypocrisy, corruption, and consequences of such unions.

Hogarth's ''Marriage A-la-Mode'' is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its innovative approach to storytelling through sequential art, a precursor to modern-day comic strips and graphic novels. The prints were intended for a broader audience and were more affordable than the paintings, allowing Hogarth's moral and social commentary to reach and influence the public at large. The series remains a critical historical document, offering insight into 18th-century English society, the institution of marriage, and the intersections of class, wealth, and morality.
