"A Merry Dance" (German: "Ein fröhlicher Tanz") is an oil painting by the Austrian artist Franz Von Defregger (1835–1921), who was known for his genre paintings depicting Tyrolean life. Created in the late 19th century, this work exemplifies Defregger's talent for capturing the joy and vivacity of peasant festivities. The painting portrays a group of Tyrolean peasants engaged in a lively dance, possibly a Schuhplattler, a traditional folk dance from the Alpine regions of Bavaria and Tyrol.

The composition of "A Merry Dance" is characterized by its dynamic figures and the artist's attention to detail in the depiction of traditional Tyrolean attire, which adds authenticity and cultural context to the scene. Defregger's use of color and light enhances the sense of movement and the festive atmosphere of the dance. The painting's subjects are depicted with expressive faces, conveying the merriment and exuberance of the moment, which is a hallmark of Defregger's genre scenes.

Franz Von Defregger, trained at the Munich Academy, was a prominent member of the Munich School, a group of 19th-century painters who were influenced by the rural and traditional aspects of Bavarian and Tyrolean life. His works often romanticized rural life and were popular in his time for their charm and idyllic portrayal of the peasantry.

"A Merry Dance" is part of Defregger's broader oeuvre that celebrates Tyrolean culture and traditions, and it continues to be appreciated for its historical and artistic value. The painting is a testament to Defregger's skill in capturing the essence of Tyrolean folk culture and his contribution to genre painting in the 19th century. It remains an important work for those studying the cultural and social history of the region, as well as the development of genre painting in Europe.
