Onweersberg (Kapelle op Kreuzberg bij Krumau)
1910
In 1910, Egon Schiele captured the dramatic atmosphere of a thunderstorm rolling over the Kreuzberg hill near Krumau, turning a simple landscape into something intense and psychological. Instead of a pretty, realistic view, he used jagged shapes and swirling, heavy brushstrokes to make the sky feel alive and threatening. The dark, brooding colors and the tiny chapel perched on top showcase his signature Expressionist style, where raw emotion matters far more than perfect accuracy. Schiele often painted the landscapes around Krumau (now Český Krumlov in the Czech Republic), where he spent time with his mentor Gustav Klimt, infusing these scenes with a unique, almost anxious energy.
