Christian Griepenkerl "Abschied" 1897
- Alternative Title: Sometimes referred to as Death as a Rider or The Farewell.
- Dimensions: Approximately 61 cm x 74 cm (or 60.5 x 72.5 cm framed).
- Medium: Oil on canvas.
- Current Status: The original piece has been sold through private auctions (such as on Invaluable) and its digital reproduction resides in the public domain. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- The Allegory of Death: The painting dramatically captures a farewell scene where Death is personified as a spectral horseman or rider, symbolizing the painful, inevitable separation of loved ones. [1, 2, 3]
- Emotional Narrative: Unlike the detached academic styling Griepenkerl taught at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, this piece focuses heavily on raw human emotion, grief, and the instinctual urge to protect. [1, 2]
- Artistic Context: Created during the height of late 19th-century symbolism, it blends Griepenkerl’s strict classical training with the darker, moody romanticism prevalent in Central Europe at the turn of the century
