A less known facet of Swedish composer and violinist Hugo Alfvén (1872–1960) is highlighted in this exhibition – his achievements as an oil painter and watercolourist. Alfvén, above all known as one of Sweden’s most renowned composers, was a dedicated landscape painter from early on, first in the contemporary style of Swedish National Romanticism, and later depicting detailed and light-flooded scenes from his travels to the Mediterranean island of Capri.
