'''François-Léon Sicard''' (1862-1934) is considered one of the more talented yet most elusive sculptors of the late 19th and early 20th century. His credits include work on the adornments of the Louvre, and numerous sculptures around the world. He studied with Barrias and is known for his Lithography and his fiercely patriotic original works of art. Despite the prolific populace of noted works throughout Europe, surprisingly little is known about Sicard himself. His work is very similar to that of Gustave_Adolphe_Grauk (1827-1920) and Antoine-Augustin_Préault (1809-1879), and he may have worked in collaboration with Grauk on some of his sculptures during the early 20th century. Some of his noted sculptures include ''Le Bon Samaritain'' (The Good Samaritan), ''Oedipe et le Sphinx'' (Oedipus and the Sphinx) and the Archibald_Fountain in Sydney's Hyde Park. {{sculptor-stub}} Sicard, François-Léon Sicard, François-Léon Sicard, François-Léon
