What does Lioness depict?

Exposed during the XXI Venice Biennale in 1938, this bronze artwork made the author win the great prize as “Best Italian Sculptor”. The whole artwork’s elaboration and maturation process has been long and it comes from the artist’s visits to Rome’s Zoo and to the Great Sneider Circus that used to be camped in Piazzale dei Prati Strozzi, both places chosen by the artist to study the animals and to be able to create the several sculptures that portray them.

Which museum holds Lioness?

Crocetti Museum

Rome, Italy

A Sanctuary of Form: The Living Legacy of Venanzo Crocetti Nestled within the serene landscape of Rome’s Via Cassia, the Crocetti Museum offers far more than a mere exhibition of static objects; it provides an intimate communion with the creative soul of one of Italy's most profound twentieth-century sculptors. To step into this space is to enter the very heart of Venanzo Crocetti’s universe, as the museum is housed within the artist's original studio—a place where the air still seems to vibrate with the echoes of chiseling marble and the heat of molten bronze. For the art lover, it is a pilgrimage; for the interior designer, it is a masterclass in how texture, light, and volume can transform a space into a narrative of human emotion.
