EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures H.R.H. Princess Marie José of Belgium (1906-2001), the elegant and graceful daughter of King Albert I of Belgium, in the prime of her youth. In this image, taken in 1937, Marie José is depicted as the Princess of Piedmont, having recently married Umberto, Prince of Savoy. The union of the Belgian and Italian royal houses was a significant political event of the time, reflecting the complex web of European alliances and dynastic connections that shaped the continent in the 1930s. Marie José's striking features, with her piercing gaze and elegant posture, are on full display in this portrait. Her refined attire, with its high neckline and elegant draping, accentuates her slender figure and underlines her regal bearing. The intricate detailing of the lace collar and cuffs adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, while the simple background allows the Princess to take center stage. The portrait also serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when European monarchs held significant political power and played a central role in shaping the continent's destiny. Marie José's story is a fascinating chapter in the history of both Belgium and Italy, and this image offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on European royalty.
