"Dancing Fairies" (Swedish: "Älvalek") is an 1866 painting by the Swedish artist Johan August Malmström, who is known for his works that often depict themes from Scandinavian folklore and mythology. The painting is one of Malmström's most recognized pieces and is considered a prime example of 19th-century Swedish romantic nationalism, a movement that sought to convey the nation's history, culture, and landscapes through art.

The artwork portrays a group of fairies, also known as "älvor" in Swedish, engaged in a nocturnal dance. They are depicted in a mystical forest setting, illuminated by the soft glow of twilight. The fairies are shown as ethereal beings, with delicate, translucent wings and flowing garments that suggest lightness and movement. Malmström's use of color and light in this painting creates a dreamlike atmosphere that captures the viewer's imagination and invites them into a world of folklore and enchantment.

"Dancing Fairies" reflects Malmström's interest in the supernatural and his ability to blend realism with fantasy. His depiction of the fairies is both detailed and imaginative, drawing on the rich tradition of Nordic legends and the cultural fascination with the unseen world of spirits and mythical creatures. The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its cultural importance, as it encapsulates a period in Swedish history when artists were actively engaged in defining a national identity through visual narratives that resonated with the public's love for folklore.

The painting is held in high esteem in Sweden and is often associated with the Midsummer celebration, a time when, according to folklore, the boundary between the human and supernatural worlds is believed to be at its thinnest. "Dancing Fairies" remains an iconic image in Swedish art and continues to be celebrated for its beauty and its embodiment of the nation's cultural heritage.
