"Old Houses in Krumau" is a notable work by the Austrian Expressionist painter Egon Schiele, created in 1914. This painting is one of Schiele's many landscapes, a genre to which he frequently turned throughout his career, and it reflects his fascination with the town of Krumau—now Český Krumlov in the Czech Republic—where his mother was born. The town's medieval architecture and winding streets provided a rich source of inspiration for Schiele, whose maternal uncle, Leopold Czihaczek, lived there.

The painting is characterized by its distinctive use of line and color, typical of Schiele's expressionistic style. In "Old Houses in Krumau," Schiele captures the essence of the town's ancient buildings with their sharp angles, crumbling textures, and the play of light and shadow. The composition is marked by a sense of verticality and the buildings appear to be almost tumbling into one another, reflecting the haphazard construction of the town itself.

Schiele's choice of perspective in this work is particularly striking, as he often eschewed traditional, picturesque views in favor of more dynamic and unconventional angles. This approach imbues the painting with a sense of immediacy and emotional intensity. The color palette is somewhat muted, with earthy tones dominating, punctuated by the occasional use of brighter colors that guide the viewer's eye through the composition.

"Old Houses in Krumau" is not only a representation of the town's architecture but also an exploration of the artist's own psychological landscape. Schiele's personal connection to Krumau and his complex relationship with his family background are thought to resonate in the painting's moody and introspective quality.

As with many of Schiele's works, "Old Houses in Krumau" reflects the broader themes of decay and transience that are recurrent in his oeuvre. The painting is a testament to Schiele's ability to convey profound emotional depth through the depiction of the built environment, and it remains an important example of his landscape work. Today, the painting is held in high regard and can be found in the collection of a major art museum, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic significance and insight into Schiele's unique vision.
