"La Danse" (The Dance) was originally painted by the French painter Henri Matisse in 1909.

"La Danse" is a powerful and beautiful oil painting that depicts a group of nude women dancing outdoors in a circle. This painting is considered to be one of Matisse's most important works, as it reflects the beginning of a new stage in his work, when he grew interest in "primitive" and tribal art. La Danse reveals the power of Fauvism in its greatness - the female figures are painted in warm colors on a cold, blue and green background. They are painted in an expressive manner, and appear to be ecstatic, celebrating nature and freedom.
