"Le Départ du berger" (The Departure of the Shepherd) is a painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1866. Bouguereau was a prominent figure in French academic painting during the 19th century, known for his classical themes and technically brilliant execution. This work is an example of his skill in depicting pastoral scenes, a popular subject in academic art, which often idealized rural life.

The painting portrays a young shepherd leaving his beloved as he embarks on his duties. The scene is set in an idyllic landscape that exemplifies the romanticized view of the countryside prevalent in the period's art. Bouguereau's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the figures' expressions, the textural contrast between the foliage and fabrics, and the play of light and shadow.

"Le Départ du berger" reflects Bouguereau's adherence to the standards of the French Academy, emphasizing beauty, technical precision, and a polished finish. His work was widely celebrated in his time for its visual appeal and virtuosity, although it later faced criticism from avant-garde movements that sought to challenge academic norms.

The painting is a testament to Bouguereau's popularity during his lifetime and his influence on the academic art tradition. It continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of the tastes and values of the era in which it was created. "Le Départ du berger" remains part of Bouguereau's extensive oeuvre, which includes over 800 paintings, many of which are held in museum collections worldwide.
