EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Leopold II, the King of Belgium from 1835 to 1909. The portrait, taken by a Belgian School photographer in the 20th century, showcases Leopold II's distinguished features and commanding aura. With his long beard and aged appearance, he exudes wisdom and experience. Leopold II belonged to the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty, known for their influential reigns across Europe. As the ruler of Belgium during the late 19th century, he played a significant role in shaping the country's history. The photograph offers a glimpse into Leopold II's personality as well as his position as roi des Belges (King of Belgium). It is evident that this image was captured towards the end of his life due to his elderly appearance. Despite this, there is an undeniable air of authority surrounding him. This portrait serves as a testament to both photography as an art form and historical documentation. Preserved in a private collection at eArchives Charmet, it allows us to reflect on one of Belgium's most notable figures from its past. As we observe this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of Leopold II's legacy but also how art can transport us through time and connect us with our shared history.
