The Parting of Abelard and Heloise
Painting by Angelica Kauffman
The Parting of Abelard and Heloise or Abelard and Heloise Say Farewell is an oil on cavnas painting by Angelica Kauffman. It is signed on a block of stone at bottom centre Angelica K. pinx. It shows Peter Abelard and Héloïse parting as she enters the convent of Sainte-Marie at Argenteuil. In 1780 it was engraved by the Russian artist Gavriil Skorodumov. It was already in a 1797 inventory of the Hermitage Museum, where it still hangs, but it is unclear when it entered the collection.[1]
