Adalbert Franz Eugen Begas (8 March 1836, Berlin – 21 January 1888, Nervi) was a German painter.
In 1862, he followed his brother, the sculptor Reinhold Begas to the Weimar Saxon-Grand Ducal Art School, where he found work in the studios of Arnold Böcklin.
On his return to Berlin, he earned his living primarily as a portrait painter, but was more enthusiastic about producing dreamy genre scenes and idealized (often allegorical) female figures.
In 1877, he married the landscape and architecture painter Luise von Parmentier.
[1] The couple made frequent visits to Italy (especially Capri and Venice), inspiring him to make his genre scenes more realistic and colorful.
