''Marriage A-la-Mode'' is a series of six pictures painted by William Hogarth between 1743 and 1745 that are satirical commentaries on the upper-class society of 18th-century England. The series, which is one of Hogarth's most famous works, depicts the story of an arranged marriage between the son of a financially troubled nobleman and the daughter of a wealthy but socially inferior city merchant. The marriage is portrayed as a means to secure the noble family's status and wealth, with little regard for the happiness or well-being of the young couple.

The paintings, which are now in the collection of the National Gallery in London, are executed in oil and serve as a form of moralistic social critique, reflecting Hogarth's view of the contemporary aristocracy's decadence, corruption, and hypocrisy. The narrative unfolds in a tragicomic fashion, showcasing the consequences of marrying for money and status rather than love, and it touches on themes such as infidelity, venereal disease, and the mercenary nature of marriage.

Each scene in the series is meticulously crafted, with attention to detail and symbolism that provides deeper layers of meaning. The titles of the six paintings are: 1) ''The Marriage Settlement'', 2) ''The Tête à Tête'', 3) ''The Inspection'', 4) ''The Toilette'', 5) ''The Bagnio'', and 6) ''The Lady's Death''. Together, they form a narrative arc that leads to the ultimate demise of both the husband and wife, serving as a cautionary tale about the dangers of valuing wealth and social standing over genuine human relationships.

Hogarth's ''Marriage A-la-Mode'' is considered a masterpiece of British art and an important precursor to the modern comic strip. It has been widely analyzed and interpreted by art historians and continues to be a subject of interest for its rich portrayal of 18th-century life and its enduring social commentary.
