metadata.value: This article tells about the main stages of the biography of the famous Scandinavian
  painter Prince Eugene, a representative of the Bernadotte dynasty, who left a noticeable
  mark on the history of Swedish culture. Having no prospects of ever taking the royal
  throne, Eugene, after receiving the traditional upbringing and education for the heir to
  the throne, devoted himself to the study of painting. Having experienced the serious
  influence of the French Impressionist masters of the last third of the 19th century during
  his studies in Paris, he worked fruitfully in various genres for a long time, leaving an
  extensive creative legacy: his brush owns not only numerous canvases presented both
  in leading museums in Sweden and world-class collections (the British Museum, the
  Metropolitan Museum), but also monuments of monumental painting — in particular,
  frescoes in the Stockholm City Hall and the Royal Drama Theater. The activity of
  Prince Eugene as a representative of the Swedish royal court during the period on the
  eve of the dissolution of the Swedish-Norwegian union is a significant research interest.
  Prince Eugene made certain efforts to preserve the unity of Sweden and Norway
  by popularizing such ideas in the Norwegian creative environment, where he had wide
  acquaintances and a certain popularity and was even proposed by such famous figures
  of Norwegian culture as K. Hamsun and B. Bjornson as a possible candidate for the
  role of king of Norway. The prince-artist is also noteworthy as a public figure who held
  anti-Nazi positions during the period before and during World War II: he not only
  condemned the policies of the Third Reich, but also criticized Swedish public figures
  who expressed sympathy for the actions of the Nazi regime in Germany. Nowadays,
  the extensive creative heritage of Prince Eugene is on display in the collection of the
  art museum located in his estate Waldemarsudde in Stockholm, where he lived and
  worked for most of his life and where he was buried after his death.
