"Tapuya Men of North Eastern Brazil in War Dance" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Albert Eckhout, who is best known for his detailed depictions of the people, flora, and fauna of Dutch Brazil during the period of Dutch colonization in the 17th century. The painting is part of a larger series of works that Eckhout produced while he was in Brazil, which collectively serve as an ethnographic and natural history record of the region during that time.

The artwork portrays a group of Tapuya, an indigenous people of northeastern Brazil, engaged in a war dance. The Tapuya were among the various indigenous groups encountered by European colonizers in Brazil, and they were often depicted by European artists in a manner that reflected European fascination with the "exotic" New World. Eckhout's painting is significant for its ethnographic detail and is considered one of the earliest European artistic attempts to represent indigenous South American rituals with a degree of accuracy.

In "Tapuya Men of North Eastern Brazil in War Dance," Eckhout captures the dynamic movement and intensity of the dancers, who are shown with traditional body paint and headdresses, wielding bows, arrows, and clubs. The painting is notable for its composition and use of color, as well as its contribution to the understanding of indigenous Brazilian cultures by contemporary European audiences.

As a work of art, the painting is an important example of the Dutch Golden Age of painting, and it provides valuable insight into the cultural exchanges and perceptions between Europeans and indigenous peoples during the colonial era. The painting is also a testament to the complex history of colonization and the representation of non-European subjects in art.

Today, "Tapuya Men of North Eastern Brazil in War Dance" is considered an important historical artifact and is studied for both its artistic merit and its ethnographic significance. It is often discussed in the context of colonialism, art history, and the depiction of indigenous peoples in European art. The painting is housed in the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, which holds a significant collection of Eckhout's works from his time in Brazil.
