The Farewell Oil on canvas 50×60, 1991 Vittoria Mazzocca A lone figure walks into the fog, leaving soft silhouettes of a woman and child in front of him. This evocative scene captures the emotional weight of separation and the poetic stillness of memory fading.
Description
This oil painting by Vittoria Mazzocca, dated 1991, portrays a solitary and blurred figure walking along a cobbled street on a foggy evening. The man, dressed in a long coat and wide-brimmed hat, holds an umbrella in one hand and perhaps a bag in the other. His form is indistinct, merging with the muted atmosphere of the background.
On the right, a lit streetlamp casts a warm yellow glow that softly cuts through the thick fog. In the distance, two ghostlike figures fade into the mist — likely a woman and her child — their outlines growing fainter with distance. The cobblestones reflect the figures, adding depth and a sense of dampness to the ground, reinforcing the humid, foggy setting of the scene.
Critical Reading and Interpretation
With the title “The Farewell”, the painting takes on a deeply emotional tone. The man walking away is not merely a passerby in the fog, but someone leaving — perhaps permanently — loved ones or a past that can no longer be reached. The blurred figures behind him become symbolic presences — memory, family, love — now out of reach.
The fog becomes a metaphor for forgetfulness, the passage of time, and emotional distance. The act of farewell is slow, soft, and inevitable. The streetlamp, the only source of light, may symbolize a lingering memory or a feeling that endures despite growing distance.
The title guides the viewer toward a more intimate and universal reading, transforming the painting from a simple landscape into a suspended emotional moment.
