"Marriage A-la-mode" is a series of six paintings created by the English artist William Hogarth in 1743 and subsequently engraved and published as prints in 1745. This suite of works is widely regarded as one of Hogarth's masterpieces and a seminal example of his satirical prowess. The series offers a scathing critique of the aristocracy and the institution of marriage in 18th-century England, exposing the moral decay and superficiality of the upper classes.

The narrative unfolds over six scenes, each meticulously detailed to convey the tragicomic story of an ill-fated arranged marriage between the son of a bankrupt nobleman and the daughter of a wealthy but low-born merchant. The first painting, "The Marriage Settlement," sets the stage with the signing of the marriage contract, highlighting the mercenary motives behind the union. Subsequent scenes, such as "The Tête à Tête" and "The Inspection," depict the couple's descent into infidelity, vice, and eventual ruin.

Hogarth's work is notable for its rich symbolism and intricate compositions, which reward close examination. Each painting is filled with objects and gestures that offer insights into the characters' personalities and the unfolding drama. For instance, in "The Tête à Tête," the disarray of the room and the couple's indifferent postures speak volumes about their estranged relationship.

"Marriage A-la-mode" is not only a narrative series but also a moral commentary, reflecting Hogarth's concerns about the social issues of his time. The series was groundbreaking in its use of sequential art to tell a story, influencing the development of both satirical art and the modern comic strip. Today, the original paintings are housed in the National Gallery in London, where they continue to be celebrated for their artistic and historical significance.
