Antonio Canova (1757-1822) gave the pair their definitive form for the tomb of Pope Clement XIII in St Peter's Basilica in Rome: one lion with head raised and alert, the other settled down with its eyes closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bronze pair is modelled after that example. Cast via \u003cem\u003ecire perdue\u003c\/em\u003e, the lost-wax method, and finished with a warm brown patina, the lions each rest on a plinth of red-veined marble, a choice of material that reinforces the neoclassical character of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 32 cm long per figure, they suit a mantelpiece or a library shelf, displayed as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kuzco Art Maison","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49069723418971,"sku":"KB0048","price":995.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/6540\/5531\/files\/Kuzco_bronze_lions_pair_marble_basement_after_antonio_canova_front2.jpg?v=1727086489","url":"https:\/\/kuzcoartmaison.com\/en\/products\/bronze-recumbent-lions-after-canova-marble-base","provider":"Kuzco Art Maison","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
