"The Departure" is a notable painting by the Dutch artist Nicolaas Riegen, who was active during the 19th century. Riegen, born in 1827 and passing in 1889, was renowned for his maritime scenes, capturing the essence of the sea and the life surrounding it. His works are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and the atmospheric quality of his seascapes.

"The Departure" exemplifies Riegen's mastery in portraying nautical themes. The painting depicts a poignant moment of a ship setting sail, possibly for a long voyage. The composition is carefully structured to draw the viewer's eye towards the vessel, which is the focal point of the piece. The surrounding elements, such as the sky, sea, and other ships, are rendered with a high degree of realism, showcasing Riegen's skill in capturing the natural environment.

The mood of the painting is both serene and melancholic, reflecting the mixed emotions associated with departure. The use of light and shadow plays a crucial role in conveying the time of day and the atmospheric conditions, adding depth and dimension to the scene. The artist's choice of color palette, dominated by various shades of blue and gray, enhances the overall mood and emphasizes the vastness of the sea.

Riegen's attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the ship's rigging and the subtle nuances of the water's surface. This level of detail not only demonstrates his technical proficiency but also his deep understanding of maritime subjects. "The Departure" stands as a testament to Riegen's ability to evoke emotion and narrative through his art, making it a significant work within his oeuvre and a valuable piece of 19th-century Dutch maritime painting.
