"The Old City I" (also known as "Dead City V") is a notable work by the Austrian expressionist painter Egon Schiele, created in 1914. This painting is one of a series of cityscapes that Schiele produced during his career, which marked a departure from his more well-known and provocative depictions of the human body. "The Old City I" reflects Schiele's fascination with the decaying urban environment of Krumau, the birthplace of his mother, which is now Český Krumlov in the Czech Republic.

The painting is characterized by its haunting portrayal of the town's ancient buildings, rendered in a palette of muted tones that evoke a sense of desolation and abandonment. Schiele's use of sharp, angular lines and the absence of human figures contribute to the eerie atmosphere of the work, suggesting themes of decay, isolation, and the passage of time. The composition's perspective leads the viewer's eye through the winding streets of the town, creating a sense of depth and complexity.

"The Old City I" is considered an important example of Schiele's landscape paintings and is often interpreted in the context of his life experiences, including his tumultuous personal relationships and the socio-political turmoil of pre-World War I Austria. The painting is held in high regard for its innovative approach to the cityscape genre and its reflection of the existential angst that permeated early 20th-century European art.

As a significant piece within Schiele's oeuvre, "The Old City I" has been the subject of scholarly analysis and has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world. It remains an influential work that continues to inspire discussions on the interplay between urban space and emotional expression in modern art.
