Description
Exceptional Early 19th Century Neoclassical Bronze Winged Lion of Saint Mark – Venetian Grand Tour Bronze An exquisite early 19th-century (circa 1820) solid bronze sculpture depicting the Winged Lion of Saint Mark, the enduring emblem of Venice and its patron, St. Mark the Evangelist. Superbly cast with crisp definition and a rich, naturally aged patina, this rare Neoclassical Grand Tour bronze reflects the strength, wisdom, and serenity of Venice’s ancient protector. The lion stands in a noble pose with one paw resting on the open Gospel, inscribed in Latin: “PAX TIBI MARCE EVANGELISTA MEUS” (“Peace to you, Mark, my Evangelist.”) The sculpture is mounted on a finely decorated rectangular base featuring Neoclassical scrollwork and acanthus motifs—an elegant testament to early 19th-century Italian workmanship. The underside is lined with green baize for surface protection. Every detail, from the detailed mane to the refined wing feathering, demonstrates the precision and dignity characteristic of high-quality Venetian bronzework of the period. Details:- Date: Early 19th Century (c. 1820) Origin: Venice, Italy Material: Solid bronze with naturally aged patina Style: Neoclassical Inscription: PAX TIBI MARCE EVANGELISTA MEUS Finish: Dark bronze with greenish verdigris tones Base: Decoratively cast with green baize underside Provenance:- Acquired from a respected Gloucestershire dealer near Highgrove and curated by Cheshire Antiques Consultant Ltd. A distinguished piece with a traceable and trusted heritage, enhancing both its aesthetic and collectible value. Why This Piece Stands Out:- A true Grand Tour treasure representing the heart of Venetian heritage Museum-quality casting with genuine early 19th-century patina Compact yet visually commanding—ideal for refined desks, libraries, or curated interiors. Accompanied by credible British provenance for buyer assurance. A timeless symbol of wisdom, courage, and peace Purchase Information:- Secure this notable Grand Tour bronze today—a distinguished collector’s piece that embodies the artistic and cultural spirit of 19th-century Venice.
