Green Lion

By hibbary,
posted 17 years ago Traditional Artist

The green lion is seen often in alchemy, representing any number of different things, but most often as a green vitriol, a universal solvent (in the minds of the ancient alchemists, anyhow XD ). Here the green lion is shown swallowing the sun (gold).

Prints are available.

Puts me in mind of Aslan, somehow :)

I love the contrasts in this piece!

Masterful execution of both form and meaning, complete with a mysic air about it.

But are you an alchemy scholar, or is it just a fascination topic ?

I wouldn't really consider myself a scholar of anything. 8 ) But I like to dabble in many many different areas of study.

Well, this explains the expansive thematic range of yours.
Even the superficial knowledge of subjects multiple enough can drastically aid with the inspiration hunting ;3

Thanks for an answer !

fascinating. he is about to swallow the sun, but seems content to first bite a huge chunk out of her, or at least play around with her for a bit as it is custom among cats.
I didn't know sun would bleed when injured. it does explain why sunsets are always red, though.

I'm sorry, but when I saw the name of the picture "Green Lion," my mind went to Voltron. :P

That is fantastic Hibbary. It's very imaginative. Those are the kind of works I love to see up on my walls, things that just let the imagination run loose. Great job.
