"Journeyman" is a notable painting by renowned Polish symbolist painter Jacek Malczewski. Completed in 1902 during his mature period, this painting signifies a poignant stage in Malczewski's creative life, marking a visual exploration of personal symbolism interwoven with national and existential themes. The painting represents the symbolist journey, an archetypal theme that captures the human experience in its spiritual, psychological, and emotional dimensions.

In the painting, Malczewski himself is depicted as the journeyman (or wanderer), encompassing the universal theme of human life as a voyage. The work is marked by the artist's characteristic palette dominated by earthy tones and a masterful interplay of light and shadow. The background features a typical Polish landscape, merging the personal with the universal and asserting Malczewski's strong connection with his national identity.

The painting also includes multiple symbolic elements, notably the mythical creature Chimera which the journeyman holds by a leash. This beast traditionally symbolizes the inherent illusions, fantasies, and futilities in human life. The journeyman's calm and composed demeanor amidst this symbol of tumult reflects the overcoming of fear, uncertainty, and delusion on the path of life.

"Journeyman" is abundantly reflective of both Malczewski's personal autobiographical approach to painting and of the broader Symbolist movement during that era, which prioritized personal symbols and mythology over realistic representations. The painting remains an iconic work within the Polish Symbolist canon and serves as an enduring testament to Malczewski's significant role as a Polish national artist.
