American, 1847–1917
Albert Pinkham Ryder (1847–1917) was an American painter recognized for his poetic, atmospheric allegories and seascapes, as well as his eccentric character. Born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, he began painting landscapes there before moving with his family to New York City. Ryder studied art at the National Academy of Design and exhibited his first painting there in 1873. His mature work, especially in the 1880s and 1890s, featured imaginative scenes with broad, stylized forms and subtle color variations, and some art historians consider his approach a precursor to modernism.
