- Summary
- This book offers a revealing insight into every aspect of the Royal Palace in Brussels. The Palace is the King's principal workplace, where he performs his duties with his assistants and holds audiences. The Belgian Dynasty is presented in detail, from its founder, King Leopold I, to the present head of state, King Philippe. Individual biographies bring the monarchs to life, while picking out a noteworthy feature from each of their reigns. Above all, though, this is a book about the building itself: the history, architecture, interior decoration and art collection of this unique monument. It is richly illustrated with portraits, rare historical material - some of it from the Palace Archives - and a wealth of brilliant photographs by the fine-art photographer Karin Borghouts.
