EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Leopold II, the influential King of Belgium from 1865 to 1909. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this colour lithograph captures the essence and grandeur of a powerful monarch. Leopold II's commanding presence is evident as he gazes confidently into the distance. His regal attire, complete with a distinguished beard, exudes authority and sophistication. This image offers a glimpse into the life of a ruler who left an indelible mark on Belgian history. Notably, Leopold II's involvement in the Geographical Conference in Brussels (1878) regarding Africa's Congo region adds another layer of significance to this portrait. As President of this conference, he played a pivotal role in shaping European colonial policies towards Africa during that era. The print belongs to The Stapleton Collection and is part of Bridgeman Images' extensive catalogue. Its inclusion within Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts and historians alike to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its historical context. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us reflect on Leopold II's complex legacy - one that encompasses both his contributions as a monarch and his controversial actions during his reign.
