Alfons (also Alphons) was an Austrian painter of the late Impressionist period. Schnegg attended the Innsbruck Trade School, worked at the Tyrolean Glass Painting Institute in Wilten, and from 1914 studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. From 1915 to 1918, Schnegg served on the Southern Front. He settled in Mühlau in 1918. Together with Ernst Nepo, Rudolf Lehnert, Herbert Gurschner, and Sidonius von Schrom, he formed the Mühlau Circle. In 1925, Schnegg co-founded the artists' association "Waage." In 1929, he spent four months in Dalmatia and Bosnia, and in 1930, he visited Italy. Schnegg created, above all, oil paintings, woodcuts, and murals (including the war memorial in Fiss, Tyrol).
