Thanks to Mats Norrman for his very interesting post in which he mentioned:

I believe Hallen found inspiration for one of his pieces in a painting or
paintings by Boecklin - the Isle of the Dead springs to mind of course.
Could you give me any details - genre, style, title, date...? Have you
heard the work? Do you have an opinion? Mats? Anyone?
>* Hugo Alfveen (1872-1960) composed much music of approachable style.
Boecklin also inspired Alfveen... May I make the same requests?
I look forward to your replies.
