Lion Attacking a Stallion 1600 - 1620

Antonio Susini's bronze sculpture "Lion Attacking a Stallion" from 1600-1620 depicts a dramatic scene of a lion overpowering a fallen horse. The dynamic composition, with the lion's powerful physique contrasting with the horse's defeated stance, highlights the artist's skill in capturing animal anatomy and movement. The work, currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the artistic trends of the early 17th century, where themes of nature and animal battles were prominent.
