"The Departure of the Prodigal Son" is a painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in approximately 1661–1662. This artwork serves as a counterpart to Rembrandt's later and more famous painting, "The Return of the Prodigal Son," which he completed in the final years of his life. While "The Return" focuses on the moment of forgiveness and reconciliation, "The Departure" captures the earlier biblical narrative of the younger son leaving his father's home to seek his fortune, a decision that ultimately leads to his downfall and subsequent redemption.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas and is known for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which Rembrandt mastered and employed to convey deep emotional and moral complexities. In "The Departure of the Prodigal Son," the artist illustrates the moment of the young man's leave-taking, imbuing the scene with a sense of foreboding and the dramatic tension of impending regret.

Although not as extensively studied or as well-known as its companion piece, "The Departure of the Prodigal Son" is significant in Rembrandt's oeuvre as it showcases his enduring interest in human psychology, his mastery of storytelling through visual means, and his ability to evoke empathy for his subjects. The painting is also an example of Rembrandt's late style, characterized by a more loose and expressive brushwork and a profound understanding of the human condition.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the location of "The Departure of the Prodigal Son" is not well-documented, and it may be confused with other works by Rembrandt that depict scenes from the parable of the Prodigal Son. The painting's provenance, critical reception, and influence on subsequent art and artists continue to be subjects of scholarly interest and contribute to the understanding of Rembrandt's legacy as one of the greatest painters in Western art history.
