L'altalena (The Swing) is a notable painting by Italian artist Angelo Morbelli, created in 1891. This work is an exemplary piece of the Divisionism technique, a method closely related to Pointillism, characterized by the use of distinct dots or strokes of color intended to blend in the viewer's eye. Morbelli, known for his focus on social issues and the conditions of the poor, often depicted scenes that highlighted the plight and daily lives of his subjects with a poignant clarity.

L'altalena is part of Morbelli's broader exploration of the life and environment of rice weeders, specifically women known as 'mondine', who worked in the rice fields of northern Italy under harsh conditions. The painting captures a moment of respite, where a group of these women engage with a makeshift swing, a stark contrast to their usual labor-intensive backdrop. This scene is not just a depiction of leisure but also serves as a subtle commentary on the fleeting moments of joy and freedom experienced by the laborers within their oppressive work conditions.

The artwork is celebrated for its vibrant use of color and light, which not only enhances the visual impact but also enriches the narrative depth, portraying the dichotomy between the hardship of the workers' lives and their moments of simple pleasures. L'altalena, by encapsulating a snapshot of life that is both ordinary and evocative, remains a powerful example of Morbelli's artistic legacy and his commitment to social realism. The painting is held in high regard and continues to be studied for its technique, thematic depth, and emotive power.
