Tips for use
  • Point your camera at the floor or a piece of furniture first, then move it slowly up towards the wall. A bare white wall is hard for your phone to recognise.
  • Move your phone gently from side to side. Holding it still or waving it around quickly does not help.
  • Make sure there is enough light. In a dark room your phone has nothing to lock onto.
  • The artwork appears at its true size, so you cannot scale it in AR. Want a different size? Close AR and pick the size on the product page.
  • Still nothing? Open this page in Chrome or Safari. AR does not work in the browser of apps such as Instagram or Facebook.

Beta feature. You need an AR-capable device (a recent iPhone/iPad or Android). The AR view is only an indication; colour, size and finish may differ in reality.

About ‘Cardinal and Nun (Caress), Egon Schiele’

Cardinal and Nun (Caress), Egon Schiele (1912)

An arousing subject has been placed into the confines of a strict formal system – its expressiveness inseparable from its constructed quality. The nude legs of the figures appear almost garish as they protrude from the nun and cardinal’s garments and seem to indicate that neither conventions nor taboos can restrain their basic instincts. The shocked expression on the nun’s face bears a remarkable resemblance to Schiele’s Self-Portrait with Raised Bare Shoulder of 1912. On the other hand, the cardinal’s naked legs seem to directly quote from an earlier watercolor showing Schiele’s companion Wally Neuzil kneeling with her bare legs on the floor. Therefore, it seems that Schiele intended to apply his and Wally’s identities to the cardinal and the nun, albeit in reversed roles. As the painting was originally entitled Caress, and the motif depicts a man lovingly embracing a kneeling woman, one is led to believe that Schiele was paraphrasing Gustav Klimt’s famous painting The Kiss. Quite conversely, however, he replaced Klimt’s gilded harmony with a suspense-packed convergence of polar oppositions that is supported by the contrasted color pairings of the scandalous red and a deep black.
