Catalogue Note
Originaire de Valenciennes, et frère cadet du peintre Charles-Alexandre Crauk, Gustave-Adolphe étudie à l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris et remporte le Grand Prix de Rome en 1851. Parallèlement aux commandes officielle de l'Etat et de la Ville de Paris, il se spécialise dans le portrait (Garibaldi, 1852-1855 ; Baltard, 1863; Madame Favart, 1865...).
Casimir Perier (1777-1832), financier et homme politique français, fut président du Conseil sous Louis Philippe. Son petit-fils fut élu Président de la République en 1894.
