The Last Meeting - A Heartbreaking Farewell
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant photo print, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the last meeting between Jacopo Foscari and his beloved family before being exiled. Painted by Francesco Hayez between 1838 and 1840, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the raw emotions of a family torn apart by political turmoil. Commissioned by Emperor Ferdinand I, who had just been crowned king of Lombardy and Veneto, this painting was intended for the prestigious Belvedere Gallery in Vienna. However, its true power lies in its ability to convey human suffering and resilience amidst adversity. As we gaze upon the scene, we witness Jacopo Foscari standing on a balcony overlooking Venice's lagoon. His face is etched with sorrow as he prepares to depart from his loved ones forever. The gestures exchanged between family members speak volumes about their deep bond and shared anguish. The grandeur of the Ducal Palace serves as a backdrop to this dramatic moment, emphasizing both the nobility of Jacopo's lineage and the weight of his sentence. Each portrait within the composition tells its own story - capturing not only Jacopo's despair but also that of his wife, children, and even his father Doge Giuseppe Foscari. This print encapsulates an enduring tale of sacrifice and injustice. It reminds us that even in times of darkness, love can transcend borders and time itself. As viewers, we cannot help but be moved
