"Prince Charlie's Farewell to Flora Macdonald" is a historical painting by the Irish artist George William Joy (1844–1925). The artwork, which dates from the late 19th century, captures a poignant moment in Scottish history, depicting the parting between Charles Edward Stuart, known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie," and Flora Macdonald. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Jacobite uprising of 1745, where Prince Charlie led an ultimately failed attempt to restore his family, the House of Stuart, to the British throne.

The painting portrays the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden in 1746, the decisive confrontation that crushed the Jacobite rebellion. Following his defeat, Prince Charlie fled into the Scottish Highlands, where he was assisted by Flora Macdonald, a Jacobite sympathizer. She famously helped him escape to the Isle of Skye by disguising him as her Irish maid, an act of bravery that has been romanticized in Scottish lore and is the subject of Joy's work.

George William Joy's representation of this farewell is imbued with a sense of drama and emotion, reflecting the gravity of the moment and the risks taken by both individuals. The painting is notable for its attention to historical detail, the evocative Scottish landscape, and the tender interaction between the two central figures. It serves as a visual tribute to the courage and loyalty that Flora Macdonald displayed, as well as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Jacobite cause in Scottish cultural memory.

"Prince Charlie's Farewell to Flora Macdonald" is an example of Joy's broader body of work, which often explored historical and literary themes. His paintings are characterized by their narrative quality and technical skill, making significant contributions to the genre of history painting in the Victorian era. The artwork remains an important piece within the context of British historical paintings and continues to resonate with audiences interested in the romanticized depictions of Scotland's past.
