Although created in the "grand manner" style of painting, Adios del Sol is a "seascape with figure" that marked Hidalgo's departure from the traditional way of painting. The masterpiece is also one of the paintings that marked Hidalgo as a reputable painter in Philippine history of art and in the so-called "popular mind" (the other painting is Jovenes Cristianas Expuestas al Populacho).[2]
