EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases Leopold II, the King of the Belgians, in all his regal glory. The colour lithograph by Andre Gill beautifully captures the essence of this influential monarch who reigned from 1865 to 1909. Leopold II is depicted with a distinguished beard and an air of authority, exuding power and confidence. Holding a cigar in one hand, he epitomizes sophistication and luxury. The image also includes a subtle nod to Belgium's colonial endeavors with the presence of a lion, symbolizing strength and dominion. The artwork is part of Vingt Portraits Contemporiens par Andre Gill, published in Paris in 1886. It offers us a glimpse into the artistic style prevalent during that era while highlighting Leopold II's significance on both national and international stages. This portrait not only serves as an homage to Belgian royalty but also raises questions about European colonialism during the Scramble for Africa. Leopold II played a pivotal role in establishing Belgium's presence in Africa through his personal ownership of the Congo Free State. As we admire this stunning piece of artistry by Gill, it prompts us to reflect on history's complexities – from monarchy and imperialism to cultural exchange between France and Belgium. This print encapsulates an important chapter within Europe's past while showcasing Leopold II as both a figurehead for his nation and an emblematic representation of his time.
