Brunswick Lion

1.Introduction of Brunswick Lion

This Brunswick Lion sculpture is very medieval. It is made of bronze from 1164 to 1176. It is the most famous landmark of Brunswick, Germany. In Brunswick, it is often called the “castle lion”. At that time, Henry, Duke of Wales (1129/31-1195), the ruler of Saxony and Bavaria, lived in Brunswick. Newlywed to British Princess Mathilda, he built the castle of Dankwardrod in the style of Caesar Farz, which is comparable to the nearby Goslar Palace The lion statue was erected in the center of the castle complex, as a symbol of duke’s authority and jurisdiction, and may also be used to express Henry’s power claim to Emperor Frederick Barbarosa of Hohenstaufen.

The Brunswick Lion is the first large independent sculpture north of the Alps in the Middle Ages, and the first large hollow casting since ancient times. The design of the lion is obviously based on Italian sculpture art. The exquisite design of the sculpture and the achievements of naturalism have shaped its unique artistic shape.
