Autumn Sun I (Rising Sun) 1912

Egon Schiele's "Autumn Sun I (Rising Sun)" is a vibrant expression of nature's beauty and his signature style. The painting, created in 1912, showcases two trees, one with a striking blue trunk, perched atop hills against a backdrop of a bright, swirling sun. The simplified forms and bold lines, characteristic of Schiele's work, emphasize the sense of tranquility and evoke the essence of a serene autumn landscape. Schiele's use of color creates a harmonious balance, as the pale background accentuates the rich tones of the earth and the trees. The painting is a stunning example of Schiele's artistic sensitivity and the profound connection he felt with the natural world.
