BEGAS, REINHOLD (1831- )

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 652 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BEGAS, REINHOLD (1831- ) , German sculptor, younger son of Karl Begas, the painter, was born at Berlin on the 15th of July 1831. He received his early education (1846-1851) in the ateliers of C. D. Rauch and L. Wichmann. During a period of study in Italy, from 1856 to 1858, he was influenced by
Bocklin
  and Lenbach in the direction of a naturalistic style in sculpture. This tendency was marked in the group " Borussia," executed for the facade of the exchange in Berlin, which first brought him into general notice. In 1861 he was appointed professor at the art school at
Weimar
 , but retained the appointment only a few months. That he was chosen, after competition, to execute the statue of Schiller for the Gendarmen Markt in Berlin, was a high
tribute
  to the fame he had already acquired; and the result, one of the finest statues in the German metropolis, entirely justified his selection. Since the year 187o, Begas has entirely dominated the plastic art in Prussia, but especially in Berlin. Among his
chief
  works (luring this period are the colossal statue of Borussia for the
Hall
  of
Glory
 ; the Neptune fountain in bronze on the Schlossplatz; the statue of Alexander von Humboldt, all in Berlin; the sarcophagus of the emperor Frederick III. in the
mausoleum
  of the Friedenskirche at Potsdam; and, lastly, the national monument to the emperor William (see BERLIN), the statue of Bismarck before the Reichstag building, and several of the statues in the Siegesallee. He was also entrusted with the execution of the sarcophagus of the empress Frederick.
See A. G. Meyer, "
Reinhold
  Begas " in Kiinstler-Monographien, ed. H. Knackfuss, Heft xx. (Bielefeld, 1897; new ed., 1901).
