"The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis" is a neoclassical painting by the French artist Jacques Louis David, completed in 1818. This artwork is one of David's later works, created during his exile in Brussels after the fall of Napoleon, whom he had supported. The painting is based on the characters from the ancient Greek epic poem "The Odyssey" by Homer, specifically drawing from the narrative found in the post-Homeric epic "The Telemachy."

The painting depicts a poignant scene of parting between Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, and Eucharis, a nymph with whom he falls in love during his quest to find his father. David's portrayal of the couple is imbued with a sense of tender emotion and captures the moment of their sorrowful goodbye. Telemachus is shown reluctantly turning away from Eucharis, while she clings to him, embodying the pain of their separation.

David's mastery of neoclassical principles is evident in the painting's clear composition, balanced proportions, and the use of classical attire and motifs that evoke the ancient Greek setting. The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis is notable for its exploration of human emotion, a departure from the stoic and heroic subjects that characterized much of David's earlier work.

The painting is also significant for its historical context, reflecting David's own sense of exile and loss. Having been a prominent painter during the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era, David faced personal and political upheaval following the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy, which led to his exile in Belgium.

"The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis" remains an important example of late neoclassical painting and is a testament to Jacques Louis David's enduring influence on the art of the period. The work is held in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California, where it continues to be studied and admired for its emotional depth and technical precision.
