EDITORS COMMENTS
"Cleo De Merode, the captivating French actress and dancer, is depicted in this early 20th century photograph as she gracefully performs on stage. Born in Brussels, Belgium, in 1878, De Merode rose to prominence as a dancer and actress, captivating audiences with her mesmerizing performances and enchanting stage presence. However, her most intriguing role came off-stage when she became the mistress of King Leopold II of Belgium. Their relationship began in the late 1890s, a time when the king was growing increasingly isolated and seeking companionship outside of his marriage. De Merode, with her beauty, charm, and intelligence, was the perfect companion for the aging monarch. Despite the scandal that surrounded their relationship, De Merode continued to perform and even appeared in several films in the early 1900s. Her long, flowing hair, which is so striking in this photograph, became her trademark and added to her allure both on and off the stage. De Merode's connection to Leopold II is an intriguing chapter in Belgian history, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a woman who defied convention and captured the heart of a king. The image is a testament to the power of art and performance to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the complexities and intrigues of history." This photograph, by Mary Evans Picture Library, is a rare and captivating glimpse into the life of Cleo De Merode, the French actress and dancer who became the mistress of King Leopold II of Belgium. The image, taken in the early 1900s, showcases De Merode's grace and beauty as she performs on stage, with her long, flowing hair adding to her allure. The photograph is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into a time when the personal lives of public figures were often shrouded in mystery and intrigue.
