Augustinus Franciscus Henri Falise (26 January 1875 in Wageningen – 7 January 1936) was a Dutch sculptor and medailleur (minter of medals).[1][2] Next to smaller sculptures he designed large monuments of public figures in stone or messing which are still present in many towns in the Netherlands.

Falise descended from a French/Belgian family of plasterers that had settled in Wageningen. He was a teacher of anatomic drawings and modelling at the AKV St. Joost in 's-Hertogenbosch. In 1912 he moved in Wageningen into the house Antonia. The street where he lived, was partially renamed in 1941 to August Faliseweg. He was married to Antoinette Hof; the marriage was childless. Falise won many prizes and received Dutch and international awards. In 1936 the award of the Order of St. Gregory the Great and the Belgium Order of the Crown (Belgium).

Exhibitions

The Museum De Casteelse Poort in Wageningen organized an exhibition about August Falise from 18 June 2010 until 20 February 2011.[3][4] This exhibition attracted substantial regional media attention and led to renewed interest in the once famous Dutch sculptor.
