This engraving titled "Boleslaw II the Generous" showcases the regal presence of Bolesaw II, also known as the Bold and the Cruel. Created by a Polish School artist, this print is housed in the Bibliotheque Polonaise in Paris, France. Bolesaw II was a significant figure in Polish history, serving as Duke of Poland from 1058 to 1076 and later becoming the third King of Poland from 1076 to 1079. The image portrays Bolesaw II in full royal attire, exuding power and authority. He stands tall with an imposing stature while holding a sword firmly at his side. The intricately detailed armor he wears reflects his status as both warrior and ruler. Behind him is a ship symbolizing his naval prowess and dominion over maritime territories.
