"Self-Portrait as Stańczyk" is a notable painting by the Polish artist Franciszek Żmurko, created in 1890. This work is a self-portrait in which Żmurko presents himself in the guise of Stańczyk, the famous court jester of Polish kings in the 16th century, who is often depicted as a symbol of Poland's national consciousness and a sage who uses humor to convey his wisdom and insight into state matters.

The painting is a testament to Żmurko's technical skill and his engagement with Polish historical themes. It reflects the Romantic period's fascination with national history and the role of artists in engaging with cultural identity. In the self-portrait, Żmurko adopts the melancholic demeanor and costume associated with Stańczyk, suggesting a deeper, reflective state of mind, possibly commenting on the artist's own role in society or the state of the nation.

Żmurko's choice to portray himself as this iconic figure is significant, as Stańczyk had become a poignant emblem of Poland's struggle for independence and the intellectual's role in society. The painting can be seen as an exploration of the artist's identity, both personal and national, and a statement on the power of art and satire in the face of political adversity.

The self-portrait is executed in Żmurko's characteristic style, which is known for its realism and attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of textures and the interplay of light and shadow. The work is held in high regard for its historical significance and is considered an important piece in the oeuvre of Franciszek Żmurko, who was a prominent figure in the Polish art scene at the turn of the 20th century.
