Winged Lion with Open Book
This artwork portrays the Winged Lion of Saint Mark, the historic emblem of Venice and a symbol of spiritual authority, vigilance, and strength. Traditionally associated with Saint Mark the Evangelist, the lion represents protection and divine guardianship over the city.
The open book beneath its paw signifies wisdom, peace, and the proclamation of sacred law — a message of harmony rather than conquest. The raised wings and dynamic posture convey readiness and sovereignty, while the circular halo-like background evokes a timeless spiritual presence.
Executed with refined line work and warm tonal depth reminiscent of classical engraving traditions, the composition bridges sacred symbolism and contemporary artistic interpretation, inviting reflection on power guided by wisdom.
