"Adieu" is a poignant painting by the French artist Alfred Guillou, completed in 1892. This work is celebrated for its emotional depth and technical mastery, encapsulating the themes of departure and loss that are recurrent in maritime communities. Guillou, born in Concarneau, Brittany, was deeply influenced by his coastal upbringing, which is vividly reflected in his art. "Adieu" stands out as a quintessential example of his fascination with the sea and its impact on human lives.

The painting depicts a dramatic and tender moment of farewell, as fishermen depart from their families. The central focus is on a fisherman and a woman, likely his spouse, locked in a final embrace before his departure. The scene is set against the backdrop of a gloomy, overcast sky and a tumultuous sea, enhancing the sense of impending danger and uncertainty associated with the fishermen's voyage. Guillou's use of color, light, and composition intensifies the emotional resonance of the scene, making "Adieu" a powerful representation of the human condition.

"Adieu" is not only a testament to Guillou's skill as a painter but also serves as a historical document, offering insight into the lives of 19th-century Breton fishermen and their communities. The painting is celebrated for its ability to convey the universal themes of love, sacrifice, and resilience in the face of adversity. It remains an important work within Alfred Guillou's oeuvre and holds a significant place in the canon of French maritime painting.
