"Autoportret w stroju Stańczyka" (Self-portrait in the Costume of Stańczyk) is a notable painting by the Polish artist Franciszek Zmurko, created in 1872. Zmurko, who lived from 1859 to 1910, was a prominent figure in the Polish art scene, known for his academic style and skillful portraiture. This work stands out in his oeuvre as a self-portrait that pays homage to Stańczyk, the famous court jester of the Polish kings in the 16th century, who is often seen as a symbol of the wise fool in Polish literature and art.

In this painting, Zmurko portrays himself dressed as Stańczyk, complete with the jester's iconic cap and attire. The self-portrait is a study in contrasts, blending the solemnity of the artist's expression with the traditionally comedic role of the jester. This juxtaposition invites reflection on the role of the artist in society, as well as the interplay between the seriousness of the creative endeavor and the folly it can sometimes entail.

Zmurko's choice to depict himself as Stańczyk may also be interpreted as a commentary on the political and social conditions of his time. Stańczyk, as a character, was known for his wit and his ability to speak truth to power under the guise of humor. By assuming this persona, Zmurko aligns himself with these attributes, suggesting a deeper, perhaps critical, engagement with the cultural and political milieu of the late 19th century in Poland.

The painting is executed with the technical proficiency characteristic of Zmurko's work, showcasing his adept handling of color and light to create a lifelike and psychologically complex image. "Autoportret w stroju Stańczyka" is not only a significant work in Zmurko's artistic legacy but also an important piece within the broader context of Polish art history, reflecting the nation's cultural identity and the timeless relevance of the artist's role as a societal observer.
