"Stańczyk" is a renowned oil painting by Jan Matejko, completed in 1862, which has come to be one of the most iconic works of Polish Romanticism. The painting depicts the titular court jester, Stańczyk, who served three Polish kings in the 16th century and is remembered as a symbol of wisdom and political acumen, often using his wit to comment on the nation's affairs. In Matejko's work, Stańczyk is portrayed alone in a grand room, during a royal ball at the court of King Sigismund I the Old, lost in solemn thought while a letter lies beside him, informing of the loss of Smolensk to the Russians—a historical event that occurred in 1514.

Matejko's painting is celebrated for its rich symbolism and poignant commentary on Poland's political situation. The jester's pensive expression and the contrast between the lively ball in the background and his solitary contemplation foreground the theme of national reflection. The artwork is often interpreted as an allegory of Poland's political struggles and the sense of foreboding regarding the country's partitioning in the late 18th century. "Stańczyk" is not only a masterpiece of historical painting but also a testament to Matejko's masterful storytelling through visual art. The painting is held in high esteem in Polish culture and is housed in the Warsaw National Museum, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and scholarly interest.
