"Stańczyk" is a notable oil-on-canvas painting by the renowned Polish artist Jan Matejko, completed in 1862. It is one of Matejko's most famous works and is often considered a masterpiece of Polish Romanticism. The painting depicts the court jester Stańczyk, a historical figure who served three Polish kings in the 16th century and is remembered for his wit and political insight. In Matejko's portrayal, Stańczyk is shown alone in a room during a royal ball at the court of King Sigismund I the Old, lost in deep thought and melancholy, symbolizing the nation's conscience.

The artwork is rich in symbolism and reflects on the political situation of Poland at the time, particularly the country's loss of independence and the consequences of political decisions. The jester is portrayed as the only person aware of the gravity of the news of the loss of Smolensk to Russia, an event that foreshadowed the partitions of Poland. The painting stands out for its psychological depth and the contrast between the festive atmosphere in the background and the somber mood of the central figure.

"Stańczyk" is often interpreted as an allegory of Poland's troubled history, with the jester embodying the solitary voice of reason amidst a heedless nobility. The work is celebrated for its technical excellence, attention to historical detail, and its poignant commentary on the human condition and the responsibilities of leadership. Today, the painting is housed in the Warsaw National Museum and continues to be an important cultural icon, resonating with audiences as a symbol of national identity and the enduring spirit of the Polish people.
