Egon Schiele Stein on the Danube, 1913 Expressionist Art Print

Nestled along the winding curves of the Austrian riverbank, the town of Stein rises in a vertical stack of architectural layers and weathered stone. This egon schiele landscape art captures the 1913 perspective from the south, where the dominant church spires and clock towers anchor a composition of earthy browns, muted greens, and chalky whites.

About Egon Schiele

Egon Schiele (1890–1918) was an Austrian Expressionist and a protégé of Gustav Klimt. He died at 28 in the 1918 influenza pandemic, leaving a remarkably large body of drawings and paintings. Expressionism, which flourished in early 20th-century Germany and Austria, puts emotion before realism. The original dates from 1913. Schiele’s angular, nervous line and twisted poses made his figures raw and psychologically intense.
