Richard Gerstl, born September 14, 1883 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary, and died November 4, 1908 there, was an outstanding Austrian painter who specialized in portraiture and landscapes. The son of a wealthy Jewish stockbroker family, Gerstl received his first formal artistic training at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, where he was taught by Christian Griepenkerl and Heinrich Lefler, among others. Despite some disciplinary problems and the fact that he often offended because of his radical views and egotistical attitude, Gerstl's artistic talent was undeniable.
In addition to his passion for art, Gerstl also had a broad interest in other disciplines such as philosophy, neurology, foreign languages, literature, psychology and music. This wide range of interests led to a variety of relationships with different personalities of the time, including composers Gustav Mahler and Arnold Schoenberg. After meeting Schoenberg in 1906 and portraying his family, Gerstl began an affair with Schoenberg's wife Mathilde, which led to the destruction of his friendship with Schoenberg and ultimately to his tragic suicide in 1908. As an artist, Gerstl was a pioneer of Austrian Expressionism. Despite his open rejection of the contemporary art establishment and in particular the art of Art Nouveau and Gustav Klimt, his artistic contribution to the so-called Schoenberg circle and the Viennese avant-garde was undeniable.
Gerstl's work was not discovered until the early 1930s and his importance was not recognized and appreciated until after 1945. Although today he is considered one of the most important Austrian Expressionists, he remains a rather unknown representative of this art movement. His works, including 60 well-known paintings and eight drawings, can be seen primarily at the Leopold Museum and the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna. The tragic story and artistic influence of Richard Gerstl is a fascinating chapter in the history of Austrian art. Despite his short life and limited production, Gerstl left a lasting legacy that secures his place in art history.
