​THE LION'S SHARE OF ART

Friends, today we wish to talk about lions, and their place in art!

Big cats have always fascinated creators: poems were written about them, they were depicted in paintings, movies were shot (remember the Metro Goldwyn Mayer screensaver?). Our team got curious about the image of the lion in sculpture, specifically St. Mark's Lion. The lion of St. Mark is a true symbol of Venice: images and monuments dedicated to him are spread all over the city. Venetians are proud of this image, and still depict the winged lion on flags, documents, and in architecture.

The ARL project, in turn, is proud of the images of lions that have become NFT. In this way, our artists have not only immortalized these proud beasts, in a relevant and modern way, but have also attracted the attention of many people interested in preserving the lion population on our planet.
