"The Flying Dutchman" is a painting by the American artist Albert Pinkham Ryder (1847–1917), who was known for his poetic and moody allegorical works and seascapes. This particular painting, which dates from the late 19th century, is inspired by the maritime legend of the Flying Dutchman, a ghost ship doomed to sail the oceans forever.

Ryder's interpretation of the myth is characterized by his signature style, which often involved the use of thick layers of paint and an expressive, almost dreamlike quality. The painting depicts the legendary phantom ship emerging from a tumultuous sea, its sails glowing with an otherworldly light against a dark and brooding sky. The sea is rendered with dynamic brushstrokes, conveying the relentless movement and the haunting atmosphere of the legend.

The work reflects Ryder's fascination with the sea and its lore, as well as his interest in themes of eternity and the supernatural. "The Flying Dutchman" is considered an exemplar of Ryder's visionary approach to art, where he sought to capture the emotional and spiritual dimensions of his subjects rather than adhere to strict realism.

As with many of Ryder's paintings, "The Flying Dutchman" may have suffered from the artist's experimental technique, which has led to conservation issues over time. Ryder's use of unstable materials and his heavy application of paint have caused some of his works to darken, crack, or otherwise deteriorate, making preservation a challenge.

"The Flying Dutchman" by Albert Pinkham Ryder is held in the collection of a notable museum or private collection, and it continues to be studied and admired for its evocative portrayal of legend and its place within the broader context of American art at the turn of the century. The painting is a testament to Ryder's unique artistic vision and his enduring influence on American symbolism and modernist painting.
