Dancing Fairies
''Dancing Fairies'' ((スウェーデン語:Älvalek)) is a painting by the Swedish painter August Malmström (1829–1901). The painting depicts fairies dancing above the water, in a moonlit landscape.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dancing Fairies )〕
==Painting==
The fairies dancing in the meadow in the twilight flow over the romantic landscape; one of them bends over the water to catch a glimpse of her own image. This visionary painting depicts the morning mist turning into fairies, like the spirits of untamed nature. Fairies were seen as delicate, tender, sensitive but also capricious and inclined to have their feelings hurt easily and take offence if not treated well. In the Swedish folk tradition, people were warned to watch out for elves, as they could be dangerous for those who were not careful with them. The fairies in Norse mythology's hidden people have survived in local folklore often as beautiful young women, living in the wild on hills, woods and mounds of stones. In Romantic art and literature, elves are typically pictured as fair-haired, white-clad, and nasty when offended.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Älvalek )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Global-folktales )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The History of the Kiss: The Birth of Popular Culture )〕
In order to protect themselves and their livestock against malevolent elves, Scandinavians could use an ''Älvkors'' (Elf cross), which was carved into buildings or other objects.〔The article ''(Alfkors )'' in ''Nordisk familjebok'' (1904).〕
