Harbour of Trieste, 1907

Hafen von Triest

Egon Schiele

Oil and pencil on card, 25 x 18cm

Egon Sciele was not slow to take advantage of the free rail travel he enjoyed as a railwayman's son. When he was seventeen, he and his sister Gerti, four years his junior, went to Trieste, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His oil sketch of the harbour features the arabesque decorativeness characteristic of the Art Nouveau.

On this day in history . 1st February 1327 . Coronation of King Edward III . . Edward III was crowned King of England, although the country was ruled by his mother Queen Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer. . . 👑 Edward III (b.13 November 1312 – d.21 June 1377) was King of England from 25 January 1327 until his death; he is noted for his military success & for restoring royal authority after the disastrous reign of his father, Edward II. . 👑 Edward III transformed the Kingdom of England into one of the most formidable military powers in Europe. His long reign of fifty years also saw vital developments in legislation & government in particular the evolution of the English parliament as well as the ravages of the Black Death. . 👑 Edward was crowned at age fourteen after his father was deposed by his mother & her lover Roger Mortimer. At age seventeen he led a successful coup against Mortimer, the de facto ruler of the country, & began his personal reign. . 👑 After a successful campaign in Scotland he declared himself rightful heir to the French throne in 1337 but his claim was denied due to the Salic law. . 👑 This started what would become known as the Hundred Years’ War. Following some initial setbacks the war went exceptionally well for England; victories at Crécy & Poitiers led to the highly favourable Treaty of Brétigny. Edward’s later years, however, were marked by international failure & domestic strife, largely as a result of his inactivity & poor health. . 👑 Edward III was a temperamental man but capable of unusual clemency. He was in many ways a conventional king whose main interest was warfare. Admired in his own time & for centuries after. . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayInHistory #TheYear1327 #EdwardIII #Coronation #d1Feb #KingEdwardIII #EdwardIIIofEngland #EnglishMonarchy #KingofEngland #History #HouseofPlantagenet #Plantagenets #BritishMonarchy #Royalhistory #onthisday #otd #HistoricArt #Art #portraitpainting #heritage #Plantagenet #theking (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8BQi4-g4mE/?igshid=1lvvh7k9z39r8
