More about this artwork
In the painting, a bold and vibrant portrayal of a landscape invites the viewer into an abstract world, dominated by geometrical simplicity and striking use of color. The scene captures a pair of mountains, rendered in deep shades of blue, that rise starkly against an expansive orange sky, illuminating patches of fading color that suggest either the setting sun or the vestiges of a storm. Below the mountains, the land flattens into horizontal stripes of yellow and beige, hinting at fields or plains stretching into the distance.

Egon Schiele was an Austrian painter. A protégé of Gustav Klimt, Schiele was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century. His work is noted for its intensity and its raw sexuality, and the many self-portraits the artist produced, including nude self-portraits. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early exponent of Expressionism.
