Departure of the Cod Fishermen of Dunkirk - A Bittersweet Farewell
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this 20th-century lithograph, artist Eugene Damblans captures a poignant moment on the quayside of Dunkirk, France. The scene depicts a departure that evokes mixed emotions among the wives and children left behind as their intrepid husbands set sail for another treacherous fishing expedition. The image portrays a heart-wrenching farewell between families, with worried wives shedding tears while embracing their brave fishermen. The children look on with concern and confusion, clutching onto their mothers for comfort. Amidst the hustle and bustle of departing fishing boats, one can sense both courage and anxiety in the air. This artwork beautifully illustrates the sacrifices made by these French cod fishermen to provide for their families. It showcases an industry deeply rooted in tradition and resilience, where leaving loved ones behind was an inevitable part of life. Damblans' use of vibrant colors brings life to this historical moment, emphasizing not only the physical departure but also capturing the emotional weight carried by all involved. This print serves as a reminder of how family bonds endure even during times of separation and uncertainty. As we gaze upon this powerful image from our private collection, we are transported back to an era when fishing was more than just an occupation; it represented strength, determination, and unwavering dedication to loved ones left ashore.
