EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a detailed section of William Hogarth's iconic painting "Marriage a la Mode: II- The Tete a Tete". Painted in 1743, this oil on canvas masterpiece depicts the morning after an upper-class marriage. The scene takes place in an opulent interior, with a mantlepiece adorned with busts and luxurious furnishings. In this particular detail, we witness the exhaustion and disarray that follows the previous night's festivities. A young merchant's daughter sits yawning and visibly worn out, while her aristocratic husband appears equally fatigued. Their tired expressions convey the consequences of their extravagant lifestyle. The satirical nature of Hogarth's work is evident as he uses this scene to moralize about the excesses and vices of high society. The disorderly room, complete with a mischievous dog running amok, further emphasizes his critique. A prominent fireplace warms the space while an elegant rug adds to its grandeur. This detail showcases not only Hogarth's exceptional attention to detail but also his ability to capture social commentary through art. Displayed at London's National Gallery, this artwork continues to captivate viewers centuries later. Its timeless message serves as a reminder that even within privileged circles, relationships can be fraught with unhappiness and dissatisfaction.
