moreJacek Malczewski, one of the most outstanding Polish Symbolism painters left a rich artistic legacy. The work of Malczewski is extremely extensive and multi-layered. His paintings present his personal desires as well as the national tragedy and traditions. Mythology intertwined with religion, folk motifs mixed with tale themes. His favourite motifs were love and death, sensuality and spirit. He also created an abundant gallery of portraits depicting famous figures of that epoch, including numerous self-portraits. The Museum in Tarnów boasts one of the more interesting self-portraits by Malczewski. Painted in 1921, the work presents the artist in half-figure. He is standing turned to the right, holding a stick (a wand) with a split end in his hand. He is wearing a white shirt with puffed sleeves. In the middle ground, there are two female figures stretching their arms to each other. One of the figures is wearing a red headgear; the other one has a crown. The background shows the façade of a manor with columns. To the right of the porch is a pair of horses standing.
