Life and work

In 1871, Storck studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in Florence with Augusto Rivalta. Five years later, he had a showing at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia and remained there to study until 1880.

Storck produced three large works that decorate the Palace of Justice in Bucharest. He also created a monument in front of the Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy in that same city. Storck's sculpture depicts and is dedicated to the educational facility's namesake, Gen. Dr. Carol Davila.[1]

Many of his finished works are collected in the Storck Museum alongside other works by his family.[1]
