The Departure 

"The Departure," a powerful engraving by Gustave Doré, depicts the emotional farewell of Crusaders leaving for the Holy Land. The image captures the raw grief and faith of families left behind. A figure of Christ on the cross looms large in the background, offering solace and hope amidst the somber tone. Doré's meticulous detail brings a sense of realism to the scene, capturing the anguish on the faces of the women and children. This print, likely created in the 19th century, resonates with a sense of both historical realism and religious devotion.
