Stone relief Venetian lion of San Marco Height 31 cm, width 40, depth 4.5 cm From the year 1620 the lion acquired great political and religious importance in the Serenissima. It not only expressed the majesty of the city and strength, but, with the lion as an attribute of St. Mark, symbolized the power and words of the saint. The wings show his spiritual superiority; wisdom he obtains through the book below on which he places a paw and finally the embodiment of justice through the sabre or sword.
