The Departure, 1882 - A Captivating Glimpse into the Parable of the Prodigal Son
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This remarkable black and white etching on laid paper, created by James Tissot in 1882, transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. The artwork, titled "The Departure" captures a poignant scene from the parable of the Prodigal Son. Set against an indoor backdrop with intricate details that showcase Tissot's mastery, we witness a family torn apart by their son's decision to leave home. The father stands at the center of attention, his hand gesturing towards his departing son who is about to embark on a journey aboard one of the majestic sailing ships docked nearby. As emotions run high within this French household, we observe both men and women gathered around a table adorned with a coffee pot – symbolizing warmth and familial connection. Through Tissot's skillful rendering, each character exudes their own unique expression; some display concern while others convey resignation or sorrow. This powerful image not only explores themes of departure and inheritance but also delves into profound religious undertones rooted in Christianity. It serves as a reminder that even amidst personal struggles and choices made against tradition or faith, love remains steadfast. Now housed within the National Gallery of Art Washington, this heritage art piece continues to captivate viewers with its evocative portrayal of human relationships and spiritual contemplation.
