"Departure from the Alpine Pasture" is an oil painting by the German artist Hermann Kauffmann, created in 1835. The painting is a notable example of the Biedermeier period, which is characterized by a sense of order and intimacy in the face of the dramatic political changes occurring in Europe at the time. Kauffmann, who was born in Hamburg in 1808 and died in 1889, was known for his genre paintings that often depicted scenes from rural life in northern Germany.

The artwork captures the moment when cattle herders are leaving the high mountain pastures where their livestock have grazed during the warmer months. This traditional practice, known as transhumance, involves moving livestock from one grazing ground to another in a seasonal cycle, typically to high pastures in summer and down to the valleys in winter.

In "Departure from the Alpine Pasture," Kauffmann's attention to detail and his ability to convey the serene beauty of the natural landscape are evident. The painting is imbued with a sense of nostalgia and romanticism, reflecting the artist's appreciation for the simplicity and harmony of rural life. The composition is carefully structured, with the figures and animals arranged to guide the viewer's eye through the scene, while the use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere.

The painting is significant for its portrayal of 19th-century rural customs and for its artistic qualities that exemplify the Biedermeier style. It provides insight into the social history of the period as well as the aesthetic values of the time. "Departure from the Alpine Pasture" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Hermann Kauffmann and continues to be appreciated for its historical and artistic contributions.
