by Egon Schiele
Egon Schiele produced this Expressionist landscape in 1908, when he was just eighteen years old. A house emerges from between trees, painted in Vienna during his formative artistic years. The work measures 67.31 by 68.58 centimeters, executed in oil on panel.
This landscape followed several 1907 works including "Forest with Sunlit Clearing," "Harbor of Trieste," and various portraits of his uncle Leopold Czihaczek. Schiele was developing the bold, angular style that would define his brief but influential career. Twilight and cottage themes appear throughout his early landscapes.
The young artist would become one of the most significant figures of Austrian Expressionism alongside Gustav Klimt, his mentor. Though he died at just twenty-eight during the 1918 influenza pandemic, Schiele left behind a substantial body of work. This painting is currently held in a private collection.
