EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and majesty of King Leopold II of Belgium as he sits atop his regal steed in the heart of Brussels. The statue, sculpted by Georges Delaselle and installed in 1912, stands proudly on a large plinth in the Parc du Cinquantenaire. King Leopold II, dressed in military attire and adorned with a full beard, gazes confidently into the distance, his hand resting on the reins. The second horse, following closely behind, mirrors the king's poised and powerful stance. Leopold II reigned as King of the Belgians from 1865 to 1909, a period marked by significant expansion of the Belgian colonial empire in Africa. Although his reign was marked by controversy and criticism due to the exploitation of natural resources and forced labor in the Congo Free State, this statue in Brussels stands as a symbol of his leadership and military prowess. The intricate details of the statue, from the textured fabric of the king's uniform to the veins on the horse's muscles, are brought to life in this photograph. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the sense of history and nostalgia. This image is a testament to the enduring legacy of King Leopold II and the rich history of Belgium.
