Egon Schiele: a Look at the Life
Egon Schiele was born on June 12, 1890 to Marie and Adolf Eugen Schiele in Tulln, a small town on the Danube in Lower Austria. Adolf was a high official of the Royal Empirial Railway Company. Of the six children of the marriage, only three survived infancy. Egon grew up alongside his sisters Melanie and Gertrude. Schiele attended elementary school at Tulln and then transferred to the Real-gymnasium in Krems. After some time, his lack of improvement there led his father to move him again to the Landes-Real-und Ober-Gymnasium in Klosterneuburg. Schiele’s childhood was overshadowed by the illness of his father, who died on New Years Day in 1905 of syphilis. Egon’s uncle and godfather became his new guardian. At his second high school, Schiele became friends with his drawing instructor, Ludwig Karl Strauch. Strauch gave Schiele private lessons; as well as, lessons with the Klosterneuburg painter Max Kahrer. Between 1905 and 1907, Schiele created over a hundred paintings, consisting mostly of landscapes. He was once again struggling in school and was forced to withdraw at an early age. In late October of 1906, Schiele took the entrance examination for the Akademie der bildenden Kuenste in Vienna. The results were success
