"Marriage A-la-Mode" is a series of six paintings created by the English artist William Hogarth between 1743 and 1745. This series is considered one of Hogarth's masterpieces and is a critical satire of the aristocracy and the institution of marriage in 18th-century England. The paintings are a narrative sequence that tells the story of the ill-fated marriage between the son of an impoverished nobleman and the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Through this series, Hogarth critiques the mercenary nature of arranged marriages among the upper classes, where financial and social considerations often took precedence over love and compatibility.

The series begins with "The Marriage Settlement," where the two families negotiate the marriage contract, highlighting the transactional nature of the union. The subsequent paintings, "The Tête à Tête," "The Inspection," "The Toilette," "The Bagnio," and "The Lady's Death," follow the couple's descent into infidelity, debauchery, and ultimately, tragedy. Each painting is rich in detail and symbolism, offering a scathing commentary on the moral and social issues of the time.

Hogarth's work is notable for its vivid characterizations and the use of visual storytelling to convey complex social critiques. The series was initially conceived as a set of engravings, which were published in 1745, making the narrative accessible to a broader audience. "Marriage A-la-Mode" remains a significant work in the history of British art, exemplifying Hogarth's skill as a painter and his keen insight into the human condition. The original paintings are housed in the National Gallery in London, where they continue to be studied and admired for their artistic and historical significance.
