"The Tempest" is an oil on canvas painting by American artist Albert Pinkham Ryder (1847-1917). The painting depicts a dramatic seascape with a swirling tempestuous sky above, illuminated by a golden glow. Three figures stand on a rocky cliff, their faces obscured by the darkness, one holding a lantern, a symbol of hope in the midst of the storm. The painting exemplifies Ryder's signature dark and mysterious style, reflecting his fascination with the power and beauty of nature.
