Biography
Adolph Robert Kraus was born in Zeulenroda on August 5, 1850.[1] He immigrated to the United States in 1881, and is best known for his sculpture of the Boston Massacre Monument in Boston Common, the winged Victory figures that crowned the towers of Machinery Hall in the Columbian Exposition of 1893, and the Randidge monument in Forest Hills Cemetery. He won the Grand Prize of Rome and was a pensioner of the Prussian government before moving to the United States.
He was hospitalized in Danvers, Massachusetts, after showing signs of mental illness while attempting to create a sculpture of Belshazzar at the moment of seeing the handwriting on the wall. He died there on November 6, 1901.[2]
