"Stańczyk" by Jan Matejko, reimagined. It is one of Matejko's most famous works and one of those that brought him fame. The contrast between the court jester, Stańczyk, and the dance taking place behind him is striking, making it an iconic image that is widely recognized in Poland. Initially, the painting did not attract much attention and was given away as a lottery prize. It was later purchased by the National Museum in Warsaw. Stolen by the Nazis, the painting was able to return to Poland in 1956. https://rodeo.club/post/7408559573940482048
