"The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" is a 1931 oil painting by American artist Grant Wood, renowned for his depictions of the American Midwest. This work is a visual representation of the famous historical event where Paul Revere rode through the night to warn the colonial militia of the approaching British forces before the battles of Lexington and Concord during the American Revolutionary War. The painting is a part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Grant Wood, who gained fame with his iconic painting "American Gothic," created "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" in a style that reflects his interest in Regionalism—an American realist modern art movement that was popular during the 1930s. The painting is characterized by its simplified forms, sharp lines, and a bird's-eye view of the landscape, which is reminiscent of folk art and the precisionist style of painting. Wood's interpretation of the historic ride is not strictly accurate; instead, it is a romanticized and somewhat whimsical portrayal that captures the spirit of American folklore and myth.

The composition of the painting is notable for its use of light and shadow, creating a dramatic contrast that emphasizes the urgency and stealth of Revere's midnight mission. The landscape is stylized, with rolling hills and a serene, almost dreamlike quality that contrasts with the historical tension of the narrative. The painting has been both praised for its artistic qualities and critiqued for its departure from historical fact, reflecting Wood's intention to create a work that was more allegorical than documentary.

"The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" has been analyzed for its cultural and historical significance, as well as its place within Grant Wood's body of work. It is often discussed in the context of American nationalism and the construction of historical memory, as well as the role of art in shaping public perception of key historical events. As a notable piece by one of America's most celebrated artists, the painting continues to be a subject of interest for art historians, critics, and the general public.
