Fantasy in F minor

Fantasy in F minor by Chopin has a really interesting cadence at the end... and I was just wondering if there was a name for the cadence?

This looks like a good piece, I just looked at it for the first time, whose recordings are good?

I'm not quite sure if it's quite plagal.. yes the base does go from IV - I but the IV chord is in a minor key...
