Heidenstam is no longer a widely read author, except among literary scholars and students of literature, although a few poems have become classics in Swedish literature. Many of his poems and novels, however, seem dated and forced to modern readers. He was the only child of Nils Gustaf von Heidenstam and his wife, Magdalena Charlotta Rütterskiöld, both belonging to families of old Swedish nobility.
His childhood home was in Stockholm, where he attended the prestigious private school Beskowska skolan from to The most influential periods of his childhood were the summers, spent at the Olshammar estate with his mother, grandmother, and two elderly unmarried aunts, who did their best to spoil the boy. His father was an enterprising man, stoic in nature and financially successful.
Nils Gustaf von Heidenstam had the title of colonel in a government department, corresponding to the Army Corps of Engineers, and was much respected for his constructions of lighthouses along the Swedish coast. Father and son were not close. The alley leading up to the Olshammar manor house was lined with chestnut trees. The family was well-to-do and could afford to send their son abroad to complete his education.
On his second trip, to Athens, Beirut, Jerusalem, and Cairo , he traveled with the linguist and orientalist Carlo Landberg, who later was elevated to count in Italy. He has sufficient character to resist the temptations of the world. During these early travels, he drew, painted, and kept a diary. He spent much of and in Rome, for the purpose of learning painting.
On 20 October Heidenstam married Emilie Uggla. She also belonged to a family of Swedish nobility.
Heidenstam, Verner von (6 July 1859 - 20 May 1940)
Both families objected initially to the marriage; Heidenstam was only twenty-one years old, had no income of his own, and had no clear ambitions or plans for the future. The newlyweds traveled to Rome for the winter, where Heidenstam planned to pursue art studies under Swedish painter Julius Kronberg. Established Scandinavian painters in Rome viewed Heidenstam with irony and amusement, considering him somewhat pompous, rather naive, and secretive regarding his own paintings.
Nobody was allowed to see the grand paintings that he supposedly was creating. In July Heidenstam and his wife moved to Paris, where his wealth and noble family background had gained him acceptance into Ecole des Beaux-Arts as a student of the famous painter and sculptor Gérôme.

The discipline at the school did not suit him, and he soon gave up the idea of painting. After some encouragement from Finnish-Swedish author Zacharias Topelius, Heidenstam decided to try his hand at writing instead. In July Heidenstam and his wife returned to Scandinavia to see his mother.
