河上的房屋——古城,1914年-埃贡·席勒

-Houses on the River belongs to an extensive group of urban landscapes that Egon Schiele painted during the course of his career. For a long time it was wrongly identified as an urban view of Wachau, a town in lower Austria where Schiele painted on several occasions, until it was subsequently demonstrated that the scene in fact represented Krumau, a small Bohemian village on the banks of the river Moldava (now Cesky´ Krumlov, Czech Republic). After Schiele visited it with his friends Anton Peschka and Ervin Osense in summer 1910, he decided that this village, where his mother was born, was a perfect refuge from hectic Vienna. He settled there permanently in 1911 with his model Wally Neuzil, and its narrow streets, the geometry of its buildings and its medieval constructions soon became one of his favourite motifs.
