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.
