This painting by Albert Pinkham Ryder depicts the mythical winged horse Pegasus ascending into a cloudy sky. The work exemplifies Ryder's distinctive style, characterised by its dreamlike quality and use of subdued, earthy tones.

Albert Pinkham Ryder (1847-1917) was an American painter best known for his poetic and visionary style. Ryder's works often drew inspiration from literature, mythology, and the sea, reflecting a deep interest in symbolism and spiritual themes. He is associated with the American Tonalism movement, which favoured atmospheric effects and muted colours to evoke mood and emotion. His unique approach to painting involved building up layers of paint over extended periods, resulting in surfaces with a distinctive, almost sculptural quality. 'Pegasus Departing' exemplifies Ryder's distinctive style. The painting depicts the mythical winged horse Pegasus ascending into a cloudy sky. Two figures stand as witnesses: one reclining nude and another draped in robes. The composition is characterised by its dreamlike quality and the use of subdued, earthy tones. Ryder's application of paint creates a textured surface, adding to the ethereal atmosphere of the scene. The figures are rendered with simplified forms, contributing to the overall sense of mystery and timelessness.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
