Life
Dausch started out as a stonemason who was used for decorating work on the town hall in Munich . Then he studied at the art academy of this city. In 1868 he received a travel grant with which he moved to Rome and from 1873 he set up his own workshop together with Peter Feile in the former studio of Antonio Canova , whose style he adopted and enhanced with moving draperies. Dausch also worked mainly in Carrara marble. His group of figures Simson and Delila was shown at the World Exhibition in Vienna in 1873 . He then created a large number of sculptures with allegorical or mythological themes, most of them tomb sculptures. He remained active in Rome until his death.
