After accepting his new position, he thinks about the consequences, but he is determined.
Based on the Stańczyk painting by Jan Matejko. This painting had always intrigued me, and since I know Ghost every time I saw it I thought I had to make an adaptation. And so I did.
There are still a lot of little things to improve but as always I have to force myself to stop.

Murzynka:
painted in 1884
yes the word is considered problematic / offensive nowadays, it is however the title of the painting
the painting was stolen in ww2! mabye looted by the nazis? noone knows tho. it was finally found after 78 years in 2012
bilińska was such a talented portrait artist
the lighting and the colours are soo nice
most probably painted at the art academy studio looking at the live model, hence the perspective. and why the portrayed girl looks kinda uncomfortable. and why she is draped in a white sheet.
why is she holding a japanese fan? 19th century obsession with ~~exotic~~ motives. smh.
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
also sort of prophetic since it was painted just a year before the Januray Uprising haha
check out more of their works! Bilińska, Matejko

polish fact of a day!!
jan matejko is one of the most important polish artists. i once heard he wasnt really that good compared to you know THEE artists, but his importance comes from painting very complicated, symbolic, full of people historical events. with enough of historical knowledge you can identify a lot of people based on their clothes/symbols around them/the way they presents themselves. some of them are also insanely big like bitwa pod grunwaldem is on a 426 × 987 cm canvas. INSANE
heres some of his paintings :D

Franciszek Żmurko (1859 - 1910) was a Polish realist painter. He started drawing lessons very early with painter Franciszek Tepa. As an adolescent he took lessons from Professor Jan Matejko. He thought his trainings as an artist might end in Vienna, but his art training finished Munich. Who knows now what sort of economy and skills nineteenth century Europe had to normalise such travels for such varied training? And I have not even thought mention Paris as art capital of the world when oil painting as an art form as at it's zenith.

Stanislaw Witkiewicz ( Polish 1851-1915)
Mgła wiosenna (1897) Springtime Fog
(National Museum, Cracow, Poland)
Oil on canvas; 60.5 x 76 cm.
 
Stanisław Witkiewicz was a Polish painter, architect, writer and art theoretician. He was born in the Lithuanian village of Pašiaušė in Samogitia, at that time, in the partitioned Polish-Lithuanian lands ruled by the Russian Empire. Witkiewicz studied in Saint Petersburg, 1869–71, then in Munich, 1872–75. He created the Zakopane Style (also known as Witkiewicz Style in architecture. He was strongly associated with Zakopane and promoted it in the art community.
 
Stanislaw Witkiewicz often said that it is quite insignificant if a canvas shows a country wench picking turnips or Zamojski at Byczyna, since prime importance is ascribed not to "what" but to "how". "The recognition of the artistic element as the most significant component of art", whose intention was to show true reality, unadorned and devoid of costume, opposed the Jan Matejko version of historicism. It gradually led to the emancipation of art from national and ideological duties, and the comprehension of the whole realm as completely independent and autonomous.
 
His son, Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, became a famous painter, playwright, novelist and philosopher, also known (from the conflation of his surname and middle name) by the mononymous pseudonym "Witkacy." Witkiewicz had strong views against formal education: "school is completely at odds with the psychological make-up of human beings". He applied this principle in his son's upbringing and was disappointed when the 20-year-old Witkacy chose to enroll at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków.
 
In 1908, suffering from tuberculosis, the elder Witkiewicz left his family in Zakopane and relocated to Lovranno, a fashionable resort in what was then Austria-Hungary, which today is in Croatia. He died there in 1915.

I love looking at silly sketches of great artists. Like look at this fucking drawing of Jan Matejko with his wife. It's amazing how artists had always seen themeselves as just funny little guys.
