"Ringelreihen" (also known as "Ring-A-Ring-Of-Roses") is a notable painting by the German Symbolist artist Franz von Stuck, created in 1910. This work is emblematic of von Stuck's fascination with mythological and allegorical themes, often imbued with a sense of mysticism and eroticism. The painting depicts a group of nude figures, predominantly female, engaged in a dance that forms a circle, which is a common motif in von Stuck's oeuvre, symbolizing unity and eternity.

The title "Ringelreihen" refers to a traditional European folk dance, similar to the English "Ring a Ring o' Roses," which involves participants holding hands and moving in a circle. This dance has often been associated with historical plagues, although such connections are largely apocryphal. In von Stuck's interpretation, the dance becomes a visual metaphor for life's cyclical nature and possibly hints at themes of innocence and mortality.

Franz von Stuck, a key figure in the Munich Secession movement, was renowned for his powerful and often unsettling imagery, which combined classical aesthetics with a modern psychological depth. His works frequently explored the dualities of human existence, such as beauty and decay, or desire and danger. "Ringelreihen" is a prime example of his artistic vision, where the graceful movement of the figures contrasts with a potential undercurrent of darker themes.

The painting is executed in von Stuck's characteristic style, which is marked by a dramatic use of light and shadow, rich coloration, and a meticulous attention to form and detail. The composition's circular movement draws the viewer's eye inward, suggesting an endless loop that captivates and entrances.

"Ringelreihen" is part of the legacy of Franz von Stuck's contribution to Symbolist art and continues to be studied for its complex interplay of themes and its exquisite execution. The painting is held in a private collection or museum, and it has been exhibited in various art exhibitions that focus on Symbolism and early 20th-century art. As with many of von Stuck's works, "Ringelreihen" reflects the artist's profound engagement with the human psyche and the visual articulation of universal themes through myth and allegory.
