I went back through the photographs I took over summer in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice to give me some inspiration. During my search I found some pictures of statues, figures and animals, in different positions.
The lion is something I would like to incorporate at some point during my concertina book I saw many winged lions around in Venice so I researched why they are so popular.
The Lion of Saint Mark, representing the evangelist St Mark, pictured in the form of a winged lion holding a Bible, is the symbol of the city of Venice and formerly of the Republic of Venice. It appears also in both merchant and military naval flags of the Italian Republic.
