History and description
The painting was created when the painter, after marrying Edith Harms, was drafted into military service in the First World War. The presence of death, but also the connection between death and eros in several of his works from this period, is associated with this event. In this painting he uses a Renaissance motif, the contrast between death and the maiden. In this painting, the woman clutching the shape of death as her lover, in a monk's robe, loses its horror. There are some similarities with fellow Austrian painter Oskar Kokoschka painting The Bride of the Wind (1914).[1]
The title of the painting is eponymous for the feature film Egon Schiele: Death and the Maiden (2016) by director Dieter Berner, based on the biographical novel Death and Girls: Egon Schiele and the Women by Hilde Berger.
