Composer Hugo Alfvén's 1924 painting of Anacapri
Swedish composer, conductor, violinist, and painter Hugo Alfvén (1872-1960) composed his third symphony in 1905 with inspiration from a trip to Italy. He made the above painting in 1924 of Anacapri (the higher elevation and more tranquil neighbor adjacent to Capri) within Naples. Alfvén’s bright and sparkling Symphony No. 3 is today’s Midday Masterpiece.
