Egon Schiele lived in Vienna during its last years as capital of the declining Habsburg Empire. Rejected by his family and hounded by society for his interest in young girls, he expressed through his art a deep and bewildering loneliness and obsession with sexuality, death and decay. He died at twenty-eight and left behind a body of work that sustains a huge public reputation.
