"Departure of the 'Orient', Circular Quay" is a notable painting by the Australian artist Charles Conder, created in 1888. Conder, a key figure in the Heidelberg School, which is often referred to as Australian Impressionism, is celebrated for his evocative landscapes and depictions of urban life in late 19th-century Australia. This particular work captures a bustling scene at Circular Quay, a major transport hub in Sydney, as the ship 'Orient' prepares to depart.

The painting is distinguished by its vibrant use of color and dynamic composition, which effectively convey the energy and movement of the quay. Conder's technique reflects the influence of French Impressionism, particularly in his handling of light and atmosphere. The scene is populated with figures engaged in various activities, from dockworkers loading cargo to passengers bidding farewell to loved ones, creating a rich tapestry of human interaction.

"Departure of the 'Orient', Circular Quay" is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its historical context. The 'Orient' was one of the ships operated by the Orient Line, which played a crucial role in connecting Australia with Europe, facilitating migration and trade. The painting thus serves as a visual document of the era's maritime culture and the importance of sea travel in the development of Australian society.

Conder's work is held in high regard for its ability to capture the spirit of the time, blending a keen observational eye with a lyrical, almost poetic sensibility. "Departure of the 'Orient', Circular Quay" remains an important piece within Conder's oeuvre and a valuable artifact of Australia's artistic and cultural heritage.
