The Parting Moment, 1856
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Paul Falconer Poole that beautifully captures the bittersweet essence of love and departure. In this intimate scene, measuring just 10x14.5 cm, we witness a poignant farewell between two lovers on the shores of a serene beach. As the couple stands before us, their emotions are palpable. The husband prepares to embark on a journey across the sea, leaving his wife behind. Their faces reflect both sadness and longing as they share one last embrace before parting ways. Poole's meticulous brushstrokes bring out every detail in their expressions, conveying the depth of their connection. The artist accompanies this heartfelt image with lines from an unknown poem: "Withdraw not yet those lips and fingers, Whose touch to mine is raptures smell; Life's joy for us a moment lingers, And death seems in the word farewell". These words further emphasize the intensity of their bond and evoke feelings of nostalgia and melancholy. Displayed at eChristopher Wood Gallery in London, this Victorian masterpiece transports viewers back in time to an era where romance was celebrated through art. It serves as a reminder that even though farewells may be painful, they can also be filled with profound beauty and tenderness. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Poole's skillful storytelling while adding an air of elegance to any space it graces.
