"Thanatos" is a series of paintings by the renowned Polish symbolist artist Jacek Malczewski (1854–1929). Malczewski, one of the most revered painters of Poland, is known for his unique blend of Symbolism with elements of Polish folklore, national history, and personal mythology. The "Thanatos" series, created in the early 20th century, is a profound exploration of the theme of death, a subject that has fascinated artists throughout history.

The term "Thanatos" itself is derived from the ancient Greek personification of death and is a fitting title for Malczewski's exploration of mortality. In these works, Malczewski often depicts Thanatos as a winged figure, sometimes androgynous or skeletal, which reflects the artist's interest in the mystical and the otherworldly. The paintings are characterized by a rich, symbolic language and a haunting atmosphere that invites viewers to reflect on the nature of human existence and the inevitability of death.

Malczewski's "Thanatos" paintings are significant not only for their artistic merit but also for their cultural and historical context. They are emblematic of the fin de siècle mood that dominated European art at the turn of the 20th century, a period marked by a fascination with decadence, mysticism, and the metaphysical. Malczewski's work stands out within the Polish art scene of the time for its bold engagement with these universal themes, interpreted through a distinctly Polish lens.

The "Thanatos" series is considered one of the pinnacles of Malczewski's artistic achievement and contributes to his reputation as a leading figure in Polish Symbolism. The paintings are housed in various art museums and collections in Poland, where they continue to be studied and admired for their complex symbolism, technical mastery, and profound emotional depth.
