Correct answer!
Actually, I guess one could say that it's both.Respighi made the association long before I did though; the music of his Birth of Venus from the Trittico Botticeliano perfectly depicts her rising out of the ocean. I made a post about it when I first heard it here. There's a free mp3 link and info about the work too-

Edit- I'm listening to it again; one of the most glorious things I've ever heard.

A famous composer wrote a work that could very well inspire the above canvas. I'll give a very good hint: The composer reposed in the 20th cent.
Hmm, I don't know that work. Reminds me of Van Gogh.
I'll have to think about it...

Hi Ms. RoJo,
Here's the next hint: He had a beautiful house in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Ok, now I have almost given you the answer to who it is - you now need to give me the name of the piece - next hint: The piece is played from start to finish with no discernable breaks.
Cheers,

I'm going to go with Don Juan, by Richard Strauss.

Dear Ms. RoJo,
You're half-way there - tell ya what - the piece I wished to illustrate is "Ein Heldenleben".
Cheers,
CD
Aaaaah. Ok. I can see that. Who is the painter, and what is the painting called?
I guess I'll go look for a pic to post.

Hi Ms. RoJo,
I'm sorry - I don't know who the painter is or what the painting is entitled.
I had typed in "Ein Heldenleben" into the Google search field and checked out the different Google images.
Sorrowfully yours,
CD
Aw, that's ok CD; no worries.
Here's a new one-

Hi Ms. RoJo,
Thanx for your meekness in re to my weakness. What a great canvas you have chosen
Hmmm - you've stumped the punk(me) - I'm probably way out in centerfield with this guesstimation - The music that has inspired this canvas is "Galaxies" by Urmas Sisask.
Cheers,
CD

Well done identifying the painter.
Have you another guess on the piece? Or I can give a hint...

Well, that would probably work too, but not what I'm going for.
