How am I only finding out about this man today? 😭 And why is Tumblr sleeping on the homosexual bachelor prince of Sweden who devoted his life to art and bequeathed all his earthly belongings to the nation?
Prince Eugen was born at Drottningholm Palace as the fourth and youngest son of Prince Oscar, Duke of Östergötland. His mother was Sophia of Nassau. The newborn prince was granted the title of Duke of Närke. Upon his father's accession to the thrones of Sweden and Norway as King Oscar II, the Duke of Närke became fourth in line to the throne. Showing early artistic promise, he studied in Paris, and went on to become one of Sweden's most prominent landscape painters. Throughout his life Prince Eugen was a supporter of fellow artists, and also involved in many cultural organisations and committees. A homosexual bachelor, he bequeathed his villa Waldemarsudde at Djurgården in Stockholm, and its collections, to the nation. It is now one of Sweden's most popular museums.
Here is some of his art:

who's your favorite Dutch painter?
Hey, nonny!
I don't really have favourite painters, there are too many utterly brilliant artists for that. Also, the things I enjoy really fluctuate based on my mood, but recently I discovered this artist that I was very impressed by, Sasja Wagenaar. Her work is so detailed and delicate, it is everything I am hoping to one day achieve in my own art.

I feel the urge to put these boys in the prettiest outfits of their respective decades so be prepared for some cool 80s and Edwardian clothes.
Also let's keep on praying for a season renewal 🙏🏻
