Description
A sculpted lion displayed in the Loggia dei Lanzi structure at the Palazzo Vecchio, outside of the Ufizzi Museum, in Florence, Italy. One of my favorites of the many sculptures to be seen there. It is referred to as Vacca's Lion, sculpted from marble by Flaminio Vacca in the 1500s. It is one of two Medici Lions, displayed here since 1789. The sculptures depict powerful male lions with a sphere or ball under one paw, looking to the side.
