"The Grand Duke of Lithuania: A Legacy of Power and Prestige" Step back in time to the 15th century, where Wladyslaw II Jagiello stood resolute before the Battle of Tannenberg on July 15, 1410. As the grand duke of Lithuania, he faced a pivotal moment that would shape his reign and the destiny of his kingdom. Fast forward to another influential figure, Alexander I, whose engraving captures his regal demeanor. This grand duke left an indelible mark on history as he ascended to become king of Poland through his coronation in Krakow in 1501. The lineage continued with John Sobieski, depicted in an exquisite engraving. Known for his heroic defense against Ottoman invasions during the Battle of Vienna in 1683, this grand duke's bravery became legendary. Auguste III takes center stage next - Roi de Pologne - King of Poland. In Jean Joseph Balechou's artwork from 1750, we witness a monarch who ruled with elegance and sophistication during a period marked by political intrigue and shifting alliances. Traveling further back into history brings us to Augustus II the Strong. This enigmatic figure reigned over both Saxony and Poland during the early eighteenth century. His power was so immense that even today we marvel at depictions like those found in unknown artists' works from 1936 and earlier years. His son August III followed suit as another formidable grand duke who left an impression on Polish history. The portraits from unknown creators showcase their artistic skill while capturing this ruler's essence. Delving deeper into antiquity reveals Privilege granted by Wladislaw Jagiello himself – a testament to his authority as king of Poland and grand duke of Lithuania during c1351-1434. Olgerd stands tall between 1833-1839.
