>>7962230This image metaphorically shows an important moment in the history of old Poland.
"And at the height of the power of the Polish-Lithuanian state, only the royal jester thinks about the future of the state and nation"
According to old messages this clown is "Stańczyk", the King's court jester, who had a sharp tongue and was not afraid to advise on important and strategic matters.
He cannot stand the decision to give the city of Smolensk to Russia, considering it a failure. He leaves the ballroom to cool off in solitude.
