Hello everyone! Today kicks off our special month of collaboration with the Leopold Museum in Vienna, which houses Austrian art from the 1900s, including Separatist masterpieces, works by Gustav Klimt, and of course… … by Egon Schiele! Today, I present to you a beautiful landscape painted by him. Please enjoy!
After the sun goes down, the earth cools, almost as if its light has gone out, as we can see in the black lawn and small flowers in the foreground. Two small trees tower over the rugged ground in the foreground; treetops crisscross the sea, islands and sky. Every leaf on the branches was withered and frozen; the branches themselves turned to each other, seeking shelter. The sinking sun was only partially visible, and the backlit mountains were a cold carmine red. This is a farewell to light, warmth and life. Schiller’s inspiration for this scene likely came from the coast near Trieste and the two deserted red rock islands that lie just off the coast.
Rudolf Leopold acquired the painting from Schiller’s longtime patron and collector Arthur Rosler, which had hung above his desk. Leopold was an Austrian art collector; his collection of 5,000 works of art was acquired by the Austrian government and used to create the Leopold Museum. He was named the museum’s life director.
