Egon Schiele (1890-1918) was an Austrian painter known for his expressive and often controversial works. He was a protégé of Gustav Klimt and a member of the Vienna Secession. Schiele's art is characterised by distorted figures, bold lines and intense colours.

Despite his short career, Schiele produced a significant body of work that continues to influence contemporary art. He died at the age of 28 during the Spanish flu pandemic.
