Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CRAUCK, GUSTAVE (1827-1905) , French sculptor, was born and died at
Valenciennes
 , where a
special
  museum for his works was erected in his honour. Though little known to the world at large during his
long
 
life
 , he ranks among the best
modern
  sculptors of France. At Paris his " Coligny "
monument
  is in the rue de Rivoli; his " Victory " in the Place des Arts et Metiers; and " Twilight " in the Avenue de 1'Observatoire. Among his finest works is his " Combat du Centaure," on which he was engaged for thirty years, the figure of the Lapith having been modelled after the
athlete
 ,
Eugene
  Sandow. In 1907 an exhibition of his works was held in the Ecole des
Beaux
 -Arts.
