"The Swing" (Hungarian: "Hintó") is an iconic painting by Hungarian painter Pál Merse Szinyei, created in 1869. The artwork showcases the artist's groundbreaking approach to color usage while capturing the essence of the Romantic period and encapsulating Szinyei's personal style, moving away from the academic dogmas of his contemporaries in 19th-century Europe.

The composition presents a dynamic tableau of relaxed country life, centered around a young woman set in mid-motion on a swing. Her red dress vibrates against the bright green of the vivid portrayed natural environment, creating an exciting hierarchical relationship between figure and landscape.

Szinyei's technique, characterized by the use of bright and bold colours, played a crucial role in the development of Hungarian plein air painting tradition, derived from the French term 'en plein air' meaning 'in the open air'. The Swing marks a significant point in his aesthetic evolution, establishing his mature style and his sensual rapport with nature.

"The Swing" is considered one of the key works of the Hungarian National Gallery’s 19th-century collection, standing as a testament to a transformative period in Hungarian visual and cultural history. Its simplicity in composition, yet complexity in representing motion and emotion, underlines Szinyei's profound understanding of nature, color theory, and human depiction.
