"Tom Walker's Flight" is an oil painting by American artist John Quidor, completed in 1824. The artwork is a visual interpretation of a scene from Washington Irving's short story "The Devil and Tom Walker," which was first published in 1824 as part of Irving's collection of stories titled "Tales of a Traveller." Quidor was known for his paintings that often depicted scenes from literature, particularly the works of Irving.

The painting captures the moment when Tom Walker, having made a Faustian bargain with the devil for wealth, is seized by the devil to be carried off to his doom. Quidor's work is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which serves to heighten the emotional intensity of the scene. The dark, brooding atmosphere and the terrified expression on Walker's face reflect the moral of the story: the consequences of greed and moral corruption.

"Tom Walker's Flight" is an example of Quidor's unique contribution to American art in the early 19th century, blending Romanticism with a distinctly American narrative. His works are considered important for their role in the development of American genre painting, and "Tom Walker's Flight" exemplifies his skill at bringing literary scenes to life on canvas. The painting is part of the collection of the Terra Foundation for American Art and has been featured in various exhibitions that explore the intersections of art and literature in American culture.

As an artist, John Quidor (1801–1881) is often celebrated for his imaginative and evocative interpretations of popular American tales, and "Tom Walker's Flight" stands as a significant piece within his oeuvre. Through this work and others, Quidor has left a lasting impact on the visual arts, offering a window into the cultural and artistic sensibilities of early America.
