Egon Schiele was born in 1890 in Austro-Hungary and was an Austrian Expressionist painter. He was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century.
Schiele is also known for his many self-portraits. Unfortunately, the Spanish flu took his life at the young age of 28. He is said to have been “a genius painter who died early in his twenties.”
