"The Departure" is a notable painting by the German artist Berthold Woltze, created in 1872. This work is emblematic of the genre painting tradition of the 19th century, capturing scenes from everyday life with a focus on social and emotional narratives. Woltze, born in 1829 in Havelberg, was a prominent figure in the German art scene, known for his detailed and poignant depictions of contemporary society.

"The Departure" stands out in Woltze's oeuvre for its intricate storytelling and masterful composition. The painting portrays a young woman, presumably leaving her family home, surrounded by various family members who express a range of emotions from sorrow to resignation. This scene is interpreted as a depiction of the socio-economic realities of the time, where young individuals often had to leave home in search of work or after marriage, highlighting the theme of transition and the impact of societal changes on personal lives.

Woltze's attention to detail, from the expressions of the characters to the domestic interior, enriches the narrative quality of the painting. The use of light and color further accentuates the emotional depth of the scene, making "The Departure" a compelling study of human relationships and societal dynamics.

The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its historical and cultural relevance, offering insights into the social fabric of 19th-century Germany. "The Departure" remains an important work in the study of genre painting and is celebrated for its ability to capture the complexities of human emotion and the nuances of everyday life.
