Vintermur" Queen Margrethe of Denmarks paintings at the
exhibition "The Spirit of the Landscape Queen Margrethe II and Prince
Eugen" at Waldemarsudde in Stockholm Sweden. Queen Margrethe an active
artist since the early 1970s HRH Queen Margrethe II of Denmark started
out drawing, moving later to painting watercolours. Those of the latter
genre inspired by Tolkien's Lord of the Rings were much appreciated.
She then shifted to nature studies and abstracts. Having been shown in
Odense during the autumn 2003, the exhibition offers examples of her
most recent landscape paintings, many of them based on vivid colour
tones in blue and green. Her paintings are shown together with her own
selection of Prince Eugen´s paintings. There is no doubt but that
the Queen's Swedish background has had a significant influence on
her artistry. Her maternal grandfather King Gustav VI Adolf encouraged
her to develop an interest in art and archaeology. Fellow artist Crown
Princess Margareta of Sweden was important to her and this exhibition
has thrown a sharp light on her relationship with Prince Eugen.
