"The Charrúa Indians of Uruguay" is a 19th-century painting by Italian artist Gallo Gallina, which depicts members of the Charrúa people, an indigenous tribe from the region that is now Uruguay. Gallina, known for his historical and genre paintings, created this work during a period when European artists were often fascinated by 'exotic' subjects and indigenous peoples from the New World. The painting is significant for its portrayal of the Charrúa, who were known for their fierce resistance to Spanish and Portuguese colonizers but were largely decimated by the mid-19th century due to warfare, disease, and assimilation.

Gallina's work serves as both a historical record and a romanticized representation of the Charrúa people, reflecting the European perspective of the time. It is characterized by attention to detail in the depiction of traditional clothing, weapons, and physical features, which suggests a degree of ethnographic interest. However, the painting also embodies the Eurocentric and often idealized vision of indigenous peoples that was prevalent in 19th-century art.

The painting is an important cultural artifact, providing insight into the portrayal and perception of indigenous South American tribes in European art. It also contributes to the visual history of the Charrúa, whose legacy has experienced a resurgence of interest in Uruguay as a symbol of national identity and resistance. "The Charrúa Indians of Uruguay" holds value not only for its artistic merits but also for its role in the broader historical and cultural narrative of Uruguay and its indigenous heritage.
