Egon Schiele was an Expressionist painter best known for his naked self-portraits and intense sexuality. He is considered a contemporary of Klimt and a great mentor to the Expressionist movement. His work is known for its raw sexuality and intensity, and he is often associated with the Vienna School.

The artist was born into modest circumstances in Tulln, Austria. His father, Adolf, was a stationmaster for the Austrian railway. His mother, Marie Soukupova, was originally from the town of Cesky Krumlov. His father died of syphilis when Schiele was only fifteen, and he was left with a caring uncle. At sixteen, he decided to enroll in the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna, where Gustav Klimt had also studied.

Egon Schiele's work is renowned, and signed originals of his paintings are highly collectible. His works are a fascinating addition to any fine art collection. His work spans over twenty-eight years, and he was famous for his extreme and disturbing self-portraits. 

In addition to his self-portraits, Egon Schiele also produced a large number of works on paper. His paintings were characterized by irregular contours and dark symbolism. Although he was greatly influenced by Klimt, his style differed from his mentor's.

Egon Schiele was an Austrian painter whose intense and emotionally charged works left a lasting mark on the history of art.
