Description
A scandalous embrace frozen in time — Cardinal and Nun (Caress) by Egon Schiele shatters the boundaries between sacred devotion and forbidden desire. Painted in 1912 by the Austrian expressionist rebel, this oil on canvas strips away piety to expose raw human emotion, vulnerability, and sensuality. Schiele’s provocative brushwork and unflinching gaze into the human psyche challenge both morality and mortality. This piece doesn’t just invite controversy — it demands it. A century later, it still whispers secrets the Church would rather forget.
