Reinhold Begas

Reinhold Begas was a German sculptor of the second half of the 19th century. He is known as a representative of the neo-baroque style of the Berlin school of sculpture. Many of Begas' works still adorn squares in Berlin and other German cities today.

Reinhold Begas was the most famous representative of the family dynasty of painters and sculptors. His father Carl Joseph Begas, his brothers Carl Begas, Oskar Begas and Adalbert Begas and his eldest son Werner Begas all left their mark on German culture.

Reinhold Begas was one of the first professors at the Weimar School of Art. Until his death, the sculptor was a member of the Association of German Artists and a professor at the National Academy of Art.

During his lifetime, Begas created hundreds of works, including statues, busts, tombstones and bas-reliefs, but many of them were later destroyed during wars, revolutions and regime changes, including for political reasons.
