"Stańczyk" is a painting by Jan Matejko, completed in 1862, which has since become one of the most iconic works of Polish Romanticism. The painting depicts the court jester Stańczyk, a historical figure who served three Polish kings in the 16th century and is renowned for his wit and political insight. Matejko's work captures a moment of solitary reflection, as Stańczyk sits alone in a grand room while a lively ball takes place in the adjacent chamber.

The painting is rich in symbolism and national sentiment, reflecting on Poland's political situation at the time. Stańczyk's somber expression and the letter on the floor, which informs of the loss of Smolensk to the Russians, allude to the decline of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the artist's concern for his country's future. The jester's costume, vibrant and traditional, contrasts with the gravity of his demeanor, emphasizing the depth of his character beyond the role of a mere entertainer.

Jan Matejko, a master of historical painting, uses this work to convey a poignant message about the role of the intellectual in society, the weight of historical events, and the enduring spirit of Poland amidst political turmoil. "Stańczyk" is not only a testament to Matejko's artistic skill but also a powerful commentary on the intersection of culture, politics, and national identity. The painting is held in high esteem and is part of the collection of the Warsaw National Museum, where it continues to inspire and provoke reflection on Poland's rich history.
