round 3, poll 2

Stańczyk:

painted in 1862

i generally dislike matejko but stańczyk is so iconic that i've grown to like it

long story short Stańczyk was a court jester for the last kings of the Jagiellonian dynasty in Poland in 16th century. he was also politically savvy and known for his accurate satirical comments on the country's past and present political situation.

in the painting he has just read the letter announcing some significant war losses (the fall of Smolensk); he is somber, but in the background, behind the curtain, the royals having fun at a ball and remain ignorant of the news

it's one of Matejko's early paintings; he was just 24 when he finished it

it's also an autoportrait since Matejko gave Stańczyk his own face

Żydówka z pomarańczami:

painted in 1881

looted during ww2 and recovered after almost 80 years!

portraits of elder people are always so good

there is something very pleasing about the blue-orange colour combination

instead of a live model Gierymski probably used this photo as a reference - the woman really is recognizable!

see more of their works! Matejko, Gierymski
