"The Departure of the Fishing Fleet" is a notable painting by Peder Severin Krøyer, a Danish painter and key figure in the Skagen Painters, an artists' colony located in the northernmost part of Denmark. Created in 1884, this work exemplifies Krøyer's fascination with the effects of light and his commitment to naturalism, themes that are recurrent in his oeuvre and particularly associated with the plein air painting style of the period.

The painting captures a scene of daily life in the fishing community of Skagen, depicting the fishermen setting out to sea at dawn. Krøyer's masterful use of light reflects the early morning atmosphere, with the sky and sea rendered in soft, muted tones that convey the quiet yet anticipatory mood of the departure. The composition is carefully balanced, with the fishing boats and their sails occupying a significant portion of the canvas, suggesting both the livelihood of the local community and the vastness of the sea that they are about to navigate.

Krøyer's work is celebrated for its ability to document the lives of the Skagen fishermen with empathy and artistic sensitivity. "The Departure of the Fishing Fleet" is no exception; it is a poignant representation of the relationship between the people of Skagen and their environment, as well as a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the transient qualities of light and atmosphere. The painting is held in high regard for its historical and cultural significance, as well as its aesthetic qualities, and it remains an important piece within the canon of Danish art history.

As a prominent work by Krøyer, "The Departure of the Fishing Fleet" has been featured in various exhibitions and is considered an integral part of the Skagens Museum collection, which is dedicated to the art and history of the Skagen Painters. The painting continues to attract scholarly attention and is appreciated by both art historians and the general public for its evocative portrayal of a bygone era in Danish maritime life.
