"The Race Track (Death on a Pale Horse)" is a painting by the American artist Albert Pinkham Ryder, who was known for his poetic and moody allegorical works as well as his eccentric and personal approach to art. Created circa 1896-1908, this painting is a testament to Ryder's unique style, characterized by his use of thick layers of paint and his disregard for traditional painting techniques, which often led to the deterioration of his works over time.

The painting depicts a spectral scene with a skeletal figure riding a horse, which is commonly interpreted as a representation of death. This figure is set against a backdrop of a race track, where the themes of mortality and the fleeting nature of life are juxtaposed with the energy and movement associated with horse racing. The work is emblematic of Ryder's fascination with the macabre and the eternal, as well as his interest in exploring the darker aspects of human experience through his art.

"The Race Track" is held in high regard for its haunting atmosphere and its departure from the realism that dominated American art at the time. Ryder's technique, which involved applying paint in layers to create texture and depth, contributes to the ethereal quality of the painting. However, this method also resulted in a fragile surface that is prone to cracking and peeling, presenting challenges for the preservation of his works.

Albert Pinkham Ryder's "The Race Track" is part of the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, which acquired the painting in 1942. The work continues to be studied and admired for its emotional intensity and its place within the context of American art at the turn of the 20th century. Ryder's influence can be seen in the works of later artists who also sought to convey the ineffable and the spiritual through their art.
