At the beginning of the 20th century, Egon Schiele is one of the most provocative artists in Vienna. His life and work are shaped by eroticism and a sense of the ephemeral; his paintings cause scandals and even land him in court. Women are the most significant sparks for his art, especially his younger sister, Gerti, and Wally Neuzil, the woman he immortalises in the painting “Death and the Maiden”. However, when the outbreak of WWI threatens his artistic pursuits, Schiele feels he must sacrifice Wally, who was most likely his only true love.
