Marriage a la Mode, 1745; plate II - A Captivating Satire on Eighteenth-Century Matrimonial Discord
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by artist Bernard Baron, we are transported back to the opulent interiors of an eighteenth-century nobleman's home. Titled "Marriage a la Mode" this satirical engraving offers a glimpse into the tumultuous dynamics of marital life during that era. Plate II portrays a scene filled with tension and discontent. The young nobleman stumbles through the door at 1.20 am, clearly intoxicated from a night of revelry. Ignoring his wife, who has been hosting a card party in their lavishly decorated interior, he displays utter disregard for her presence. The steward, depicted walking out in disgust, serves as both witness and symbol of societal disapproval towards such behavior within marriage. His departure signifies not only his disdain for the nobleman's drunkenness but also highlights the crumbling foundations of their union. Artist William Hogarth masterfully employs monochrome tones to emphasize the stark contrast between wealth and unhappiness within this aristocratic household. Through biting satire and sharp social commentary, Hogarth invites viewers to reflect upon the consequences of neglecting one's spouse in pursuit of personal indulgence. This thought-provoking print can be found at Guildhall Library Art Gallery—a testament to its enduring significance as an artistic masterpiece that continues to resonate with audiences today.
