Balancing the images of hell and tormented sinners are the bucolic, delicate, and detailed landscapes he painted on the back of his tripty…

Schiele's full artistic flowering lasted only a little over 10 years. …

The majority of his works are semi-formal portraits that radiate a somewhat sculptural quality, suggesting his early roots as a sculptor. Amedeo Modigliani was an Italian Sephardic Jew, born in the port town of Livorno on the northwestern coast of Tuscany o…
