Egon Schiele (Tulln, 12 June 1890 - Vienna, 31 October 1918) was an Austrian expressionist painter. A career with the railways would have been obvious, but Schiele went against the original wishes of his mother and his guardian to the art academy, where he achieved mediocre results. Earlier Schiele was influenced by Gustav Klimt and his Sezession movement. The works of Egon Schiele are expressionistic and belong to the painting style of the Viennese Sezession.
