EDITORS COMMENTS
by Auguste Raffet captures a poignant moment in time as a family bids farewell to a loved one on their deathbed. The lithograph in black and white depicts a somber scene in a bedchamber, with four people gathered around the bedside - two women, a man, and a young girl. The expressions of grief and sadness are palpable as they say their final goodbyes. The detailed artwork conveys the emotions of loss and departure with striking realism, showcasing Raffet's skill as an artist. The composition is intimate yet powerful, drawing the viewer into the emotional turmoil of the family as they face this heartbreaking moment together. The setting is evocative of 19th-century France, adding historical context to the scene. The use of lithography on ivory wove paper gives the print a timeless quality that enhances its emotional impact. "Goodbye, 1827" serves as a reminder of the universal experience of saying goodbye to loved ones and coping with grief. It is a testament to Raffet's ability to capture complex human emotions through his artistry. This print from Heritage Images is not just an image but a window into another time, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences of loss and farewell.
