"Senta Trägt die Ballade vom 'Fliegenden Holländer'" is a painting by the German artist Ferdinand Leeke, known for his works that often depicted scenes from operas and myths. Created in the late 19th or early 20th century, this particular painting illustrates a moment from Richard Wagner's opera "Der Fliegende Holländer" (The Flying Dutchman), which premiered in 1843. The opera tells the story of a ghostly sea captain doomed to wander the oceans until he can find a woman who will be faithful to him unto death.

In Leeke's depiction, Senta, the heroine of the opera, is shown embodying the dramatic intensity of the narrative as she sings the ballad of the Flying Dutchman. This ballad is a central piece in the opera, revealing Senta's fascination with the legend and her premonitory connection to the Dutchman himself. The painting captures the emotional climax of the scene, with Senta's expression and posture conveying her empathy and determination to become the redemptive force for the cursed sailor.

Ferdinand Leeke (1859–1923) was a painter who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg and later under the tutelage of Wilhelm von Diez at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich. He gained recognition for his Wagnerian themes, and his works contributed to the popular visual culture surrounding Wagner's operas during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The painting is a testament to the Romantic era's fascination with themes of redemption, the supernatural, and the power of love. It also reflects the broader cultural impact of Wagner's operas and the way in which visual art served to further disseminate and interpret the composer's mythic narratives. Leeke's work is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its role in the history of Wagnerian reception and the intersection of visual art and music.

"Senta Trägt die Ballade vom 'Fliegenden Holländer'" remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Ferdinand Leeke and continues to be of interest to scholars and enthusiasts of both art history and opera. The painting is a notable example of how the visual arts can engage with and expand upon the stories told in musical and theatrical performances.
