More about this artwork

Egon Schiele's 1916 painting "One-Year Volunteer Lance-Corporal" captures an intense and personal view of a soldier from World War I. Known for his raw and emotional style, Schiele's work often explores the complexities of human existence and this painting is no exception.The subject of the portrait, a young lance-corporal, is depicted with a hauntingly direct gaze that seems to both confront and avoid the viewer. Schiele's use of gaunt facial features and sharp lines underscores the harsh realities faced by soldiers during the war. The lance-corporal's uniform, vividly depicted in shades of blue with gold and white details, contrasts dramatically with his pale, thin face, highlighted with touches of red that suggest both exertion and vulnerability.This poignant piece not only showcases Schiele's mastery of expression and form but also serves as a powerful commentary on the impacts of war on individual lives.

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.
