 He then travelled to Capri, where he stayed at the Villa Lysis, home of industrialist and poet Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen, who had left Paris in the wake of his own scandal.While there, Hoecker painted several portraits of Fersen's lover, Nino Cesarini, a professional model.By 1904, both scandals had been largely forgotten ("Jugend" magazine even published one of his Nino portraits – a fully clothed version) and he was able to return to Langenau.
