"La Tarantella" (The Tarantella) is a renowned oil painting by the French academic painter Leon-Jean-Basile Perrault (1832–1908). Created in 1879, the artwork exemplifies the 19th-century European fascination with regional Italian culture and the romanticized depiction of peasant life. The painting portrays a young woman in the midst of performing the Tarantella, a traditional Italian folk dance that is particularly associated with the Southern regions of Italy, such as Naples and Calabria.

Perrault, known for his genre paintings and portraits that often featured children and women, captures the dynamic movement and vibrant energy of the dance with meticulous brushwork and attention to detail. The subject is depicted with a sense of idealized beauty and grace, characteristic of the academic art style that Perrault adhered to. The use of light and shadow, as well as the intricate rendering of the dancer's attire, reflects the artist's skill in portraying texture and movement.

"La Tarantella" is not only a celebration of Italian peasant culture but also an example of the period's artistic interest in ethnography and the picturesque. The painting resonates with the viewer through its depiction of joy and the universality of dance as a form of expression. It is held in high regard for its technical excellence and as a cultural artifact that offers insight into the 19th-century European perspective on Italian folk traditions.

The painting has been exhibited in various art galleries and has been part of private and public collections over the years. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and as a historical representation of the Tarantella dance, which remains an iconic symbol of Italian heritage.
