Father's Leave-taking" is an oil painting by the prominent British artist, William Holman Hunt. Originally completed in the 19th century, the painting is emblematic of Hunt's personal style and involvement in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a key art that aimed to return to rich, detailed and vibrant artistry found before the time of Italian painter Raphael.

"The Father's Leave-taking" presents a deeply emotional narrative that explores themes of departure, familial bonds, and the advent of mortality. It portrays a domestic scene where a father, suspected to be ailing due to the somber mood and melancholic expressions on the family faces, is bidding farewell to his wife and children. The meticulous detailing of the painting, including the close and careful work on the subjects' expressions and clothing and the lifelike reproduction of the room’s interior, is entirely characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite style.

This painting is considered significant in Hunt's canon due to its clear evocation of human sentiment and its powerful exploration of societal norms and expectations related to family relationships and death in the Victorian era. There's a sensitivity to the human condition, revealing layers of emotion that speak to Hunt's understanding and portrayal of universal human experiences. Much like many of Hunt's works, it serves as a valuable window into 19th-century British society, and continues to be influential in the study of Pre-Raphaelite art today.
