Carol Storck
Romanian sculptor
Carol Storck (10 May 1854, Bucharest – 1926) was a Romanian sculptor. He was the son of Karl Storck and the brother of Frederic Storck, both sculptors.
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.
Many of his finished works are collected in the Storck Museum alongside other works by his family.

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 16, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q12723473. VIAF identifies the subject as 96065503. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1854, 1926, 1871 and 1880.
