"The Departure of the Fishing Fleet, Scheveningen" is a notable painting by the Dutch marine painter Hendrik Willem Mesdag, created in 1875. Mesdag, born in Groningen in 1831, became renowned for his mastery in capturing the sea, and his works are quintessential examples of the Hague School of painting, which is characterized by its realistic portrayals of Dutch daily life in the latter half of the 19th century.

This particular painting depicts the bustling activity of the fishing fleet of Scheveningen, a coastal village that has now become a part of The Hague. Mesdag's intimate knowledge of the sea and the lives of the fishermen is evident in the detailed rendering of the ships, the sea, and the figures. The work is imbued with a sense of movement and anticipation, as the fleet prepares to depart into the North Sea, underlining the perilous livelihoods of the fishermen and the close relationship between the Dutch people and the water that surrounds them.

Measuring at a significant size, the painting is a testament to Mesdag's ability to convey the vastness of the sea and the sky, as well as the intricacies of human activity. The use of light and color reflects the early morning atmosphere, with the sun casting a warm glow over the scene, highlighting the sails and the water.

"The Departure of the Fishing Fleet, Scheveningen" is held in high regard for its historical value, providing insight into the fishing industry of the 19th century, as well as for its artistic merit. It is a prime example of Mesdag's dedication to marine art and contributes to his reputation as one of the most prominent Dutch marine artists of his time. The painting is part of the collection of the Mesdag Museum in The Hague, which houses many of the artist's works and is dedicated to the Hague School of painters.
