Description:
In the aftermath of the First World War, amidst the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Vienna, the story unfolds against a backdrop of loss and change. As the deadly Spanish flu sweeps through Europe, claiming over 20 million lives including that of Egon Schiele at just 28 years old, we're taken into the world of this gifted artist who captures his fears and desires on canvas. A protégé of Gustav Klimt, Schiele had witnessed the birth of a new artistic movement – the Secession – which sought to challenge the traditional norms of art. This compelling narrative delves into the life of a visionary artist and his unwavering quest to express humanity's restlessness through his creations, all while grappling with personal grief and global upheaval.
