Stanisław Wyspiański (1869 – 1907, Polish) was a painter, playwright, and leader of the Young Poland movement of artists who merged the national tradition of history painting with Symbolist visions and elements of Art Nouveau. He frequently tackled the theme of Polish class relations in his works, and he was so appreciated during his lifetime that the funeral after his premature death from syphilis turned into a national memorial parade.

Wyspiański, an upper-class member of the intelligentsia, married a peasant woman and former domestic servant. Countryside and nature played an important role in his life and art. Stanisław Wyspiański was also an important commentator on class structure and nationalist movement in Poland, both in his painting and writing.
