What you can see on this painting? 

Mariusz Lewandowski's painting titled "Amnesia" is a contemporary reinterpretation of Jan Matejko's famous work "Stańczyk." The central element of the composition is a chair, whose backrest is enclosed in cobwebs, symbolizing stagnation, forgetfulness, or the loss of memory. The transparent threads of the cobweb may also suggest the intertwining of the past and present, the closing off of the mind or emotions.

On the right, a figure of a clown in a red outfit stands at the doorway, which is a direct reference to Stańczyk. However, here the clown is leaving the scene instead of contemplating national tragedy. His silhouette is illuminated by warm, orange light, contrasting with the cold, dark interior on the left side of the painting. At the table, a quill and paper are visible, suggesting that something was written but perhaps forgotten or abandoned, much like the scene itself seems to be in a state of stagnation.

This painting by Lewandowski combines elements of classical art with his own surrealist style, exploring themes of amnesia, memory, and national symbolism.
