Life

Wrangel, scion of a Swedish line of the noble family Wrangel , grandson of Swedish admiral Anton Johan Wrangel , third of seven children of Rittmeister Fredrik Ulrik Wrangel af Sauss (1820-1858) and his wife Ulrika Ebba Vilhelmina Sprengtporten (1828-1874), first studied painting . For this purpose he went to Düsseldorf in 1876 and enrolled at the Royal Prussian Art Academy . There were Andreas Müller and Heinrich Lauenstein his teachers. In 1877 he left Düsseldorf and went on to study in Venice , Munich and Florence , which lasted until 1882. In 1880 he returned to Düsseldorf again. Little is known about Wrangel's painterly oeuvre.

He began to make a name for himself as a historical treatise writer in the 1880s. In 1888 he married the genre, landscape and portrait painter Maria Asplund (1861–1923), who was born in Jönköping and had studied at the Stockholm Art Academy until her marriage to Wrangel . The couple, who moved to France to study in 1888, had no children and divorced in 1906. In 1891 he began to work as editor of the magazine Svenska autografsällskapets tidskrift , from 1898 for its successor, the Personhistorisk tidskrift . He held this position until 1903. From 1895 to 1898 he also edited the magazine Vintergatan . In 1897 Wrangel became chamberlain at the court of Oscar II of Sweden and Norway . In 1898 he was promoted to protocol secretary in the court marshal's office and in the court expedition. In 1901 he switched to the court service of Queen Sophia . When he was on a trip with her entourage on the Côte d'Azur in 1906 , he gambled away his queen's travel budget on a visit to the Monte-Carlo casino . This caused a scandal and the dismissal from court service. He fled to the United States , later he stayed as an exile in Paris , where he was mainly involved in artistic circles. It was not until 1927 that he returned to Stockholm for a brief visit.
