"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 depicts the disastrous consequences of a marriage arranged for social and financial gain rather than love and compatibility.

The paintings follow the story of an ill-fated union between the son of an impoverished nobleman and the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Each painting in the series captures a different scene in the unfolding drama, highlighting the moral and social decay that results from the couple's union. The first painting, "The Marriage Settlement," shows the negotiation of the marriage contract, emphasizing the mercenary motives of both families. Subsequent paintings, such as "The Tête à Tête" and "The Inspection," reveal the couple's mutual infidelity and the husband's descent into debauchery.

Hogarth's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art are evident throughout the series. He employs a rich array of symbols and motifs to enhance the storytelling, such as the inclusion of classical references and contemporary fashion, which serve to underscore the themes of vanity, greed, and moral corruption.

"Marriage A-la-Mode" was groundbreaking in its approach, combining elements of traditional portraiture with a sequential, almost cinematic, narrative structure. The series was initially met with mixed reactions but has since been recognized as a pioneering work in the development of modern visual storytelling. Today, the paintings are housed in the National Gallery in London, where they continue to be celebrated for their artistic merit and incisive social commentary.
