"The Departure of the Folkestone Boat" is an oil-on-canvas masterpiece created by Édouard Manet in 1869. This artwork offers a glimpse into a typical dawn scene at Boulogne-sur-Mer during Manet's summer stays, displaying the steamship that sailed routinely between Boulogne and Folkestone. As a characteristic of genre painting, it presents a snapshot of everyday life, featuring Suzanne Manet and their son, Léon, ready to embark on the ship. An integral piece of Impressionism, this vivid oil painting is housed in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
