Four Trees
Pictures by Egon Schiele
Egon Schiele's chestnut trees stand in their autumn reds before a sunset painted in glowing bands of color, with blue hills and a green meadow below. Painted in 1917, it is one of Schiele's most peaceful pictures, and each tree seems to have a character of its own, like a person. For someone who loves quiet landscapes and great painting.
