EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient marble sculpture, known as the Tomb Lion of Marathon, dates back to the 4th century BC and is a striking example of Archaic Greek art. Discovered in Marathon, Greece, the lion is believed to have once guarded a tomb or burial site, a common practice in ancient Greek culture. The lion's muscular and powerful body, with its mane flowing in the wind, exudes a sense of nobility and strength. The intricate details of the marble carving, such as the individual veins on the paws and the texture of the mane, demonstrate the skill and artistry of the ancient Greek sculptors. The Tomb Lion of Marathon is now a prized exhibit at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark, where it continues to captivate visitors with its historical significance and artistic beauty. The sculpture is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of ancient Greece and the enduring influence of its art on European civilization.
