"Marriage A-la-Mode" is a series of six paintings created by the English artist William Hogarth between 1743 and 1745. These works are considered some of Hogarth's finest and most satirical, offering a critical commentary on the aristocracy and the institution of marriage in 18th-century England. The series is a narrative sequence that tells the story of the ill-fated marriage between the son of a bankrupt nobleman and the daughter of a wealthy but miserly merchant. Through these paintings, Hogarth explores themes of greed, infidelity, and moral decay, ultimately leading to a tragic conclusion.

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 through their unhappy marriage, depicting scenes of neglect, infidelity, and eventual ruin. Each painting is rich in detail and symbolism, with Hogarth using his keen eye for social observation to critique the superficial values and moral shortcomings of the upper classes.

"Marriage A-la-Mode" was groundbreaking in its use of sequential art to tell a cohesive story, a precursor to modern graphic novels and visual storytelling. The series was initially met with mixed reactions but has since been recognized for its artistic and cultural significance. Today, the original paintings are housed in the National Gallery in London, where they continue to be admired for their technical skill, narrative depth, and biting social commentary. Hogarth's work remains a poignant reminder of the complexities and consequences of societal norms and personal choices in the pursuit of wealth and status.
