Description


This piece was inspired by the incredibly moving sculpture called "The Lion Monument" in Lucerne, Switzerland by the Danish artist, Bertel Thorwaldsen, from the early 1800's. While it was commissioned to memorialize the fallen Swiss, I've always seen it as one to all humankind through the millenia who have come to grief fighting for what they believe, and for those left behind to carry on. And so that is my dedication. Also I want to thank Romanceworks (Carol) who also was part of the inspiration for this piece.

Wonderful image! Is that all painted? The hair and fur are super-superbly done!! Wow! I also like the mood of the image very much!! It's great!! Btw...do you know the story that the sculptor who made the lion in Switzerland committed suicide because he forgot to sculpt the lion's tongue?? (That's what we've been told when I was a kid....)
