EDITORS COMMENTS
The Last Meeting: A Heartbreaking Farewell". In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the poignant final gathering between Jacopo Foscari and his beloved family before he was cruelly exiled. Painted by Francesco Hayez between 1838-40, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the raw emotions of a family torn apart by political circumstances. Commissioned by Emperor Ferdinand I for the Belvedere Gallery in Vienna, Hayez skillfully portrays the dramatic scene with great attention to detail. The composition showcases an interior setting within Venice's Ducal Palace, overlooking the serene lagoon and departing ships. As Jacopo stands on a balcony, his face etched with sorrowful resignation, his family surrounds him with expressions of anguish and despair. The painting evokes a sense of impending departure as each member of the Foscari family engages in heartfelt gestures and embraces. Their portraits reflect their individual struggles - from Jacopo's father, Doge Giuseppe Foscari's pained expression to his wife's tear-streaked face. This deeply moving artwork encapsulates both personal tragedy and political turmoil. It serves as a reminder of how power can separate loved ones and force them into exile against their will. Through Hayez's masterful brushstrokes, we are invited to bear witness to this last meeting filled with love, longing, and heartbreak – forever frozen in time for us to contemplate upon.
