Adolphe Crauk, born in Valenciennes on May 24, 1865 and died on December 13, 1945, was a French engraver and painter. A pupil of David Joseph Desvachez in Valenciennes and then in Paris of Alexandre Cabanel, Louis-Pierre Henriquel-Dupont, and Jules Jacquet, he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1887 onward, receiving an honorable mention in 1893, a 3rd-class medal in 1896, a travel grant in 1897, and a 1st-class medal in 1905, the year he was selected as an hors-competition. He also received an honorable mention at the 1900 World's Fair. Aimé Nicolas Morot, born on June 16, 1850 in Nancy and died on August 12, 1913 in Dinard, was a French painter and sculptor. He studied at the Nancy School of Drawing and Painting under Claude-Émile Thiéry and Charles Sellier before becoming, through a competitive examination, a student of the painter Alexandre Cabanel at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris on May 31, 1869. He competed four times, unsuccessfully, for the Prix de Rome, before winning in 1873 with The Captivity of the Jews in Babylon. Upon marrying Suzanne Gérôme, he became the son-in-law of the painter Jean-Léon Gérôme; he was a friend of the painter and sculptor Édouard Paul Mérite. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1880 to 1912, where he received a medal of honor for his first participation for The Good Samaritan. As an academic and professor at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, a frequent exhibitor at the Salon des artistes français in Paris, and a member of the painting jury, Aimé Morot was an influential figure in Parisian art circles, one of the 18 most influential members of the Institut de France.
