"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 prime example of his skill in combining art with social commentary. The paintings satirize the aristocracy and the institution of marriage in 18th-century England, highlighting the moral and social issues of the time.

The narrative of "Marriage A-la-Mode" unfolds over six scenes, each meticulously crafted to depict the consequences of a marriage arranged for financial and social gain rather than love. The story begins with the negotiation of a marriage contract between the impoverished Earl of Squanderfield and the wealthy but socially ambitious merchant, Mr. Silvertongue. The subsequent paintings reveal the unhappy and morally corrupt lives of the newlyweds, culminating in infidelity, murder, and death.

Hogarth's work is notable for its detailed and expressive characters, as well as its rich symbolism and use of satire. Each painting is filled with objects and gestures that provide insight into the characters' personalities and the societal norms of the period. For example, the first painting, "The Marriage Settlement," features a lawyer who is more interested in his own gain than in the well-being of the couple, while the final painting, "The Lady's Death," depicts the tragic end of the Countess, who succumbs to grief and despair.

"Marriage A-la-Mode" was initially conceived as a series of engravings, which Hogarth later produced and sold to a wide audience. The paintings themselves are housed in the National Gallery in London, where they continue to be admired for their artistic merit and their incisive critique of 18th-century British society. Through "Marriage A-la-Mode," Hogarth not only entertained his contemporaries but also provided a lasting commentary on the pitfalls of marrying for status and wealth rather than for love and compatibility.
