One of the city’s most iconic landmarks, Chicago Lion Statue sculpture greets visitors at the entrance to the Museum of American Art. The sculpture was designed by Francis Ellis Elgin (Edward Kemeys) and debuted in 1893. It shows a majestic and majestic lion, standing on the base, head held high and chest straight, as if guarding this palace of art.
The design of this Chicago Lion Statue is exquisite and meticulous, and every part is full of vivid details. The lion’s head is carved very lifelike, with bright eyes, as if staring ahead. Its nose is raised high and its nostrils are flared, showing a ferocious aura.
The strong neck has smooth lines and clearly visible muscle lines, revealing a strong sense of strength. The sculpture artist cleverly captured the lion’s expression and movement, making the sculpture not just a static decoration, but more like a real lion standing there alive.
The Chicago Lion Statue’s body is covered with richly detailed patterns, and every hair is finely carved and lifelike. Its front paws are straight and strong, as if it is ready to take steps at any time.
The entire sculpture is made of copper material. After years of baptism, its surface shows a deep bronze color, revealing the vicissitudes of life and a heavy historical atmosphere.
