About
The central plaza at Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, holds the dramatic "Lion Crushing a Serpent" by the French Romantic sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye. Originally created in 1832, the work is Barye's allegory of the French Revolution of 1830, symbolizing the power of good (the lion) conquering evil (the serpent). This bronze cast was made about 1890.
Wonderful angle and a most effective shot. One does have to wonder, though, about the good and evil thing. If one doesn't get you, perhaps the other one will. ;-)
