"Baile Criollo" (Creole Dance) is a notable painting by Uruguayan artist Pedro Figari (1861–1938), who is renowned for his focus on the culture and traditions of the Rio de la Plata region. Figari, a self-taught artist, lawyer, and writer, turned to painting later in life, and his works often depict scenes of everyday life, celebrations, and historical events from the 19th century, reflecting the social and cultural diversity of the region.

Created during the early 20th century, "Baile Criollo" exemplifies Figari's interest in capturing the essence of the Creole society, particularly the Afro-Uruguayan community, whose presence and contributions were often marginalized in the historical narrative of the time. The painting portrays a traditional dance scene, likely set in a 'candombe' celebration, which is a dance and musical style of African origin that is especially significant in Uruguay.

Figari's style is characterized by loose brushwork, a vibrant palette, and a lack of concern for precise anatomical detail, which allows him to focus on the movement and rhythm of the scene. His work is often associated with Post-Impressionism and has been linked to the development of modernist painting in Latin America.

"Baile Criollo" is not only an artistic representation but also a socio-cultural document that offers insight into the customs and social dynamics of the period. The painting is a celebration of the Creole spirit and an acknowledgment of the African influence in the cultural tapestry of Uruguay.

As one of Figari's significant works, "Baile Criollo" is frequently studied within the context of Latin American art history and is considered an important piece in understanding the evolution of national identity in Uruguayan visual arts. The painting is emblematic of Figari's contribution to the cultural renaissance in Uruguay during the early 20th century and his advocacy for the recognition of Afro-Uruguayan culture and heritage.

Pedro Figari's "Baile Criollo" remains an influential piece of art that continues to be exhibited and admired for its historical value and artistic merit, reflecting the rich cultural landscape of Uruguay and the broader Latin American region.
