Stein on the Danube, Seen from the Kreuzberg 1913

"Stein on the Danube, Seen from the Kreuzberg" is a 1913 painting by Egon Schiele, a renowned Austrian Expressionist artist. The painting depicts a panoramic view of the town of Stein an der Donau, showcasing the prominent church tower with its distinct silhouette. The artist's characteristic use of angular lines and dark, muted colors emphasizes the architecture and creates a sense of depth and drama. Schiele's style, known for its elongated figures and psychological intensity, is evident in the exaggerated proportions and bold brushstrokes. This cityscape is a testament to Schiele's fascination with the urban environment and his ability to capture the essence of a place through his unique artistic vision.
