‘adieu!’ - alfred guillou (1892)
with a title meaning ‘goodbye’, this piece depicts the final moments of a fisherman and his love before they are overwhelmed by the force of the sea. a strong sense of urgency is created due to the towering waves and already-sunken mast in the background of the piece. this is a contrast to the stillness of the foreground; in this we see the woman slipping into the water, her body already limp as the fisherman desperately clings on.
