"Self-Portrait with Gorgons" is a notable painting by Jacek Malczewski, one of the most revered Polish symbolist painters at the turn of the 20th century. This work, created in 1917, is part of a series of self-portraits that Malczewski produced throughout his career, which often incorporated mythological and allegorical elements to explore complex themes of identity, creativity, and the human condition.

In "Self-Portrait with Gorgons," Malczewski presents himself in a contemplative pose, surrounded by the menacing figures of Gorgons from ancient Greek mythology. The Gorgons, most famously represented by Medusa, were creatures with hair of living, venomous snakes and a gaze that could turn onlookers to stone. Their inclusion in the painting can be interpreted as a symbol of the challenges and fears that the artist faces, as well as the potentially paralyzing effect of self-scrutiny and the critical gaze of others.

The painting is characterized by Malczewski's distinctive style, which blends elements of realism with the fantastical, and often features a strong use of color and dynamic composition. "Self-Portrait with Gorgons" is not only a reflection of Malczewski's personal artistic journey but also serves as an example of the broader Symbolist movement's preoccupation with the inner life and the role of the artist in confronting and expressing the deeper truths of existence.

As with many of Malczewski's works, this self-portrait is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its rich, layered symbolism. The painting is considered an important piece within Malczewski's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Symbolist art in Poland and the broader European context. It remains a subject of study for art historians and enthusiasts who are interested in the intersections of personal narrative, mythological motifs, and the exploration of the psyche in art.
