4 Lion Sculpture at Ringling Mansion in Sarasota, Florida

This sculpture of a lion located on the terrace of the Ringling Mansion in Sarasota could easily have represented one of the big cats featured in the Ringling Brothers Circus. But given John Ringling’s love of Venice, I suspect it is also patterned after the Winged Lion of Venice in St. Mark’s Square. Notice the paw resting on a scroll. In Italy this represents the Gospel of St. Mark.
