Alois Arnegger | A View of Capri

Unlike many artists of his time, Austrian painter Alois Arnegger (1879-1967) was artistically inspired by a pre-Impressionist style rooted in Romanticism and Barbizon School theories.

Arnegger established a reputation as a fine portraitist and landscape artist, and was particularly well known for his Austrian and Italian scene paintings.

In the first years of his career, he painted scenes from his Austrian origin, but since the 1920s his focus was more on Italian coasts, such as Naples, Capri or Sanremo.
