About the artwork

I am proud to present my impressionist artwork, "Farewell in Steam". This artwork takes you back to a bygone era, where communication was still limited by distance and time.

In this painting, you see a scene of farewell, where lovers are preparing to go on a journey. The setting is set by a beautiful steam train, ready to depart. The atmosphere of excitement and melancholy is palpable in the air.

The use of the impressionist style gives the work a certain liveliness and playfulness. Colourful brushstrokes combine to form the details of the train, station and people saying goodbye. The subtle blending of colours creates a sense of movement and dynamism.

The size of the painting makes it possible to experience the details down to the smallest nuances. Every element, from the smoke rising from the steam train to the expressions on the faces of the people saying goodbye, adds to the complexity and depth of the story being told.

"Farewell in Steam" invites the viewer to be immersed in a time when the distance between loved ones was bridged by letters and postcards. It reminds us how valuable personal communication can be and how the feeling of longing and waiting gives special meaning to our relationships.

This artwork is not only suitable to look at, but also to experience. Hang it in a prominent place in your interior and get carried away in the melancholy of "Farewell in Steam". It is a tribute to an era when travelling was an adventure and the romance of saying goodbye was palpable.
