Lady Gaga’s latest album, Harlequin, prominently features the famous painting “Stańczyk” by Polish artist Jan Matejko on its cover. This marks a rare fusion of pop culture and classical art, as the painting is also set to be showcased in a temporary exhibition at the Louvre.

In a surprise move, Lady Gaga chose Matejko’s Stańczyk as the cover image for her new album Harlequin, slated for release on September 27. The painting will soon be on display at the Louvre in Paris as part of the “Figures of the Fool” exhibition, starting on October 16. The album release coincides with the upcoming premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux, a film for which the album is the official soundtrack.

The National Museum in Warsaw, home to the Stańczyk painting, commented on the unexpected development. “We thought Stańczyk was heading to the Louvre, but instead, it appeared on Lady Gaga’s album cover!” the museum wrote humorously on social media. They also reassured fans that Stańczyk would return to Poland in February after its time at the Louvre.

This isn’t Stańczyk’s first foray into popular culture. The painting, which depicts a jester deep in thought amidst a royal gathering, previously appeared in the TV series What We Do in the Shadows, where it was part of the Vampire Council’s storyline.

The Louvre exhibition, where Stańczyk will be featured, explores historical representations of jesters and fools. Meanwhile, Lady Gaga’s album will include 13 tracks, with some featured in the Joker film, though not all will make it to the final movie cut.

Matejko’s Stańczyk has long been a subject of fascination, even inspiring other works, including the play Wesele by Stanisław Wyspiański and the painting by Leon Wyczółkowski.
