Objektbeschreibung
In the
sensual-moving style Begas introduced in his Neobaroque sculpture, the artist
turned away from the principles of classical idealism we find in the work of his
teachers Schadow and Rauch. In additional to classical themes, the sculptor now
increasingly turned to psychological topics, including biblical subjects like
the fraternal rift between Cain and Abel. Begas advanced with his pathosladen
compositions to become Emperor Wilhelm II’s most important sculptor for state commissions.
