EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 18th century masterpiece "Marriage A-la-Mode, Plate II" by Bernard Baron. Based on William Hogarth's original work, this baroque-era engraving depicts a domestic setting filled with disorder and chaos. The image showcases a lazy husband sitting in front of a fireplace while his drunken state reflects the messiness of their marriage. The concept behind this artwork explores the consequences of an unhappy union within French society during that time period. The broken furniture symbolizes the broken relationship between the husband and wife, highlighting their disconnection. The female figure is seen standing beside her intoxicated spouse, portraying her frustration and discontentment. Bernard Baron skillfully etches intricate details into this engraving, capturing not only the physical appearance but also conveying emotions through his artistry. This museum-quality print allows viewers to appreciate the historical significance of Hogarth's work as well as Baron's interpretation. Displayed against a white background, this portrait transports us back to 18th-century France where societal norms dictated marriages often lacked love or compatibility. It serves as a reminder of how relationships can deteriorate when built on superficial grounds rather than genuine affection. This print is part of Heritage Art collection at The Met Museum and offers an intriguing glimpse into history through its powerful imagery.
