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

In 1915, Schiele married Edith Harms, who lived with her parents across the street from his studio. This change necessitated the termination of his four-year relationship with the ever-faithful Wally. A few days after the wedding, Schiele was inducted into the army. Austria shielded its cultural elite from dangerous duty, sparing Schiele from combat; nevertheless, it was a rocky beginning for a marriage with such differing sensibilities.

At the end of 1918, the influenza epidemic that claimed over twenty million lives worldwide reached Vienna. Edith, who was six months pregnant, succumbed to it on October 28th, followed three days later by Egon. He was twenty-eight years old.

Schiele began painting large-format portraits of Roessler, Reichel, Kosmack and others including Otto Wagner. Shortly after that project he designed three postcards for the Wiener Werkstaette, this was followed by an exhibition at the Internationale Jagdausstellung in Vienna as a member of the "Klimt Group." Schiele had his first one-person show at the Galerie Miethke, in Vienna in 1911.

In spite of the war, Schiele was able to pursue his artistic endeavors. In 1916 a new artistic period began. Being all churned up inside yielded to a certain relaxation, which showed in a deliberately more obvious realism, for example in "The Mill". Up to then naturalistic details and visual effects had been unusual
