The "Canova lion" refers to a pair of marble sculptures created by the neoclassical artist Antonio Canova in 1792 for the tomb of Pope Clement XIII in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. They are famous for their imaginative and detailed design, which contrasts a sleeping, powerful lion with a vigilant, alert one, symbolizing the Pope's moderation and energy.
Copies of these lions have been made over centuries, often commissioned as tributes to Canova or for decorative purposes.
