About the piece
Painted circa 1898 by Heinrich Vogeler, 'Abschied' (Farewell) captures a poignant moment of quiet transition. Set on a terrace overlooking a vast, layered horizon, the figures embody the melancholic and symbolic depth characteristic of the German Jugendstil movement. The luminous blue of the standing figure's tunic provides a striking focal point against the muted, hazy textures of the landscape.
