Egon Schiele Town among Greenery (The Old City III) Print

Egon Schiele's art was not only about the scandalous nudes. 🖼️

Between 1910 and the outbreak of World War I, Egon Schiele (1890-1918) became utterly mesmerized by Krumau (today's Český Krumlov in the Czech Republic), his mother's birthplace. Unlike his notorious figurative works that shocked Viennese society, these townscape paintings reveal a different side of the artist: one captivated by architecture, community life, and the intricate relationship between human habitation and nature.

Schiele would position himself at elevated vantage points on the town's periphery, sketching the medieval buildings with their characteristic terracotta roofs and painted facades. What makes "Town among Greenery" particularly special is its unusual warmth. The painting pulses with vibrant yellows, oranges, and reds set against lush emerald foliage, whilst tiny figures populate the streets below (a rare occurrence in Schiele's oeuvre, which typically favoured emptier, more haunting urban landscapes).

The young Schiele caught the attention of Vienna Secession master Gustav Klimt, who became his mentor, patron, and advocate. Klimt introduced him to wealthy collectors and even exchanged drawings with him, a gesture that demonstrated enormous respect for Schiele's talent.
