20 X 24 Oil Painting On Canvas One of Egon Schiele's masterpieces, Death and The Maiden, also known as Der Tod und die Frau, was created in 1915-16. The original artwork was said to be inspired by the mythological abduction of Persephone by Hades, the god of the underworld. Today it has been reproduced by hand in oil on canvas. Egon Schiele, painter and commercial artist, was born in 1890 in Austria. Schiele was strongly influenced by the art nouveau style of his friend Gustav Klimt , who often encouraged younger artists. His style matured into a form of expressionism that often featured controversial imagery or symbolism of death. In 1918, Schiele died in Vienna just three days after the death of his pregnant wife Edith. His work continues to be exhibited throughout the world.
