Farewell | Arthur Hacker | 1913

In Vale (Farewell), Arthur Hacker (English, 1858–1919) presents a haunting, Symbolist vision of parting and inner fracture. A solitary female figure appears doubled, her form dissolving into a ghostly echo that gently withdraws, suggesting the painful separation of self, memory, or love. Rendered in muted, shadowed tones and softened contours, the painting conveys an atmosphere of quiet sorrow and emotional suspension. Hacker’s subtle use of motion and blurred edges transforms the farewell into a psychological moment—intimate, dreamlike, and steeped in melancholy introspection.
