Krumau on the Molde 1912

Egon Schiele's "Krumau on the Moldau" is a vibrant oil painting depicting an aerial view of the city of Český Krumlov in the Czech Republic. Painted in 1912, the artwork showcases Schiele's signature style with its bold colors, expressive brushstrokes, and simplified forms. Schiele's use of color, specifically the contrasting orange building and the dark background, creates a sense of depth and dynamism, highlighting the architectural elements of the city. This work is considered a prime example of the artist's architectural style, capturing the essence of a historical European city through a unique and expressive lens.
