It depicts the American patriot Paul Revere during his midnight ride on April 18, 1775. The perspective is from a high altitude as Revere rides through a brightly lit Lexington, Massachusetts. It was inspired by the poem "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.[1] Wood used a child's hobby horse as model for Revere's horse.[2] The painting is located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, but is not on view as of spring, 2017.[1] ProvenanceThe painting belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Cecil M. Gooch in Memphis, Tennessee from 1931 to 1950, after which it was given to YWCA Memphis as a gift. The same year it was sold for 15,000 dollars to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/488577|title=The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere|publisher=Metropolitan Museum of Art|accessdate=2016-11-06}} {{Grant Wood}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Midnight Ride of Paul Revere}}2. ^{{Cite book|last=Souter|first=Gerry|year=2009|title=American Realism|location=New York City|publisher=Parkstone International|p=198|isbn=978-1-78042-992-2}} 5 : 1931 paintings|Henry Wadsworth Longfellow|Paintings by Grant Wood|Paintings of the Metropolitan Museum of Art|Cultural depictions of Paul Revere |
