His mother was a Czech native of southern Bohemia, Cesky Krumlov. His father was a Czech railroad worker who died of syphilis in 1905. The young man was brought up in the family of his uncle, Leopold Čiháček. In 1906, he entered the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts, then moved to the Academy of Fine Arts. From 1907 he found a mentor and patron in the person of Gustav Klimt. In 1908 he had his first exhibition in the town of Klosterneuburg near Vienna, where Schiele had previously attended school. In 1909, Klimt invited Schiele to participate in an exhibition at the Art Gallery of Vienna, where his work was surrounded by works by Klimt himself and paintings by Van Gogh, Edvard Munch and other artists.
In 1911, Schiele's girlfriend and model was Valli Neuzil. The pair fled Vienna's bohemian life to Cesky Krumlov, then to the town of Neulengbach, where Schiele was arrested in 1912 on charges of defilement of a minor. During a search, the police found several dozen explicit drawings in his possession, which were declared pornographic. The artist was sentenced to short-term imprisonment. One of Schiele's patrons was Austrian collector Heinrich Benesch, father of future art historian Otto Benesch.

The artist's legacy includes about 300 paintings and several thousand drawings. After Schiele's death, his exhibitions were and continue to be held in major museums around the world. Joanna Scott's Arrogance (1990) and Luis Crofts' The Pornographer of Vienna (2007) are novels about Schiele's life. Mylène Farmer mentions the artist's name in one of her most famous songs, Je te rends ton amour (1999): "Je te rends ton amour/Redeviens les contours/De mon seul maître: Egon Shiele et..." (I reclaim your love/Redeviens les contours/De mon seul maître: Egon Schiele et...).

Unbridled, extravagant, flamboyant and incredibly talented - all these words apply to Amedeo Modigliani, while the artist's work cannot be attributed to a particular current.
