"Death on Ridge Road" is a notable painting by American artist Grant Wood, completed in 1935. Wood, best known for his iconic work "American Gothic," was a prominent figure in the Regionalist art movement, which sought to depict rural American themes and landscapes during the early 20th century. "Death on Ridge Road" exemplifies Wood's ability to capture the tension and drama of everyday life in the American Midwest.

The painting portrays a dramatic and suspenseful scene set on a rural road. A large, red truck is seen barreling down a steep hill, while a black car approaches from the opposite direction. The imminent collision is suggested by the converging paths of the two vehicles, creating a sense of impending disaster. The composition is marked by its dynamic lines and the stark contrast between the bright red of the truck and the dark tones of the car and surrounding landscape. The use of perspective and the positioning of the vehicles heighten the viewer's sense of anxiety and anticipation.

Wood's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the landscape, which features rolling hills, a winding road, and a distant farmhouse. The painting's dramatic lighting and the ominous sky contribute to the overall sense of foreboding. "Death on Ridge Road" is often interpreted as a commentary on the dangers of modern technology and the encroachment of industrialization on rural life. The painting reflects Wood's broader concerns with the rapid changes occurring in American society during the 1930s.

"Death on Ridge Road" remains a significant work in Grant Wood's oeuvre, showcasing his skill in narrative composition and his deep connection to the American Midwest. The painting is part of the collection at the Williams College Museum of Art in Williamstown, Massachusetts, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
