Belonging to an established family of artists, unlike his father Karl Josepf devoted to painting, Reinhold Begas turned his attention to sculpture. He soon became a professor at the Weimar school of art, and he acquired an evident academic imprint. In this sculptural group of 1874-1878, preserved in the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, the sculptor depicts the elevation of Psyche to Olympus by Mercury.
