Lying lions, Sculpture group at Municipal Palm House in Gliwice, Poland.
The cast iron lions, positioned in front of the Municipal Palm House, demonstrate the precise craftsmanship of German Neoclassical sculpture techniques.
Johann Gottfried Schadow created these sculptures around 1830, during a period when he established himself as the founder of the Berlin School of sculpture.
The lions represent a connection between German and Polish artistic traditions, reflecting the complex cultural interactions in the Silesia region.
The sculptures remain accessible throughout the year, allowing visitors to examine the detailed metalwork and take photographs without restrictions.
These cast iron sculptures stand as the only known pair of Schadow's lion works permanently displayed in an outdoor botanical garden setting.
