Hiob Carl Oscar Begas was a German painter of the mid-nineteenth century. He is known as a portraitist, landscape painter, historian, teacher, son of the painter Carl Begas, brother of the sculptors and painters Carl, Rheingold and Adalbert Begas.
Oscar Begas was the author of portraits of many prominent German and foreign statesmen and military figures, representatives of science and culture. Becoming a popular painter, he received many orders from King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia. According to critics, more than in commissioned portraits, Begas's painterly skill was demonstrated in his atmospheric winter and autumn landscapes, on which the master concentrated towards the end of his life.
