The Recumbent Lion, a masterpiece from Loutraki dating back to 570-560 B.C., now resides at the Nye Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. Crafted with precision using Memento Beta (now reimagined as Remake) from AutoDesk, this stunning work of art features a lion resting on a intricately carved plinth that is itself a single block of expertly shaped stone. The lion's head faces directly forward, its powerful features frozen in time. This iconic motif has its roots in the ancient Near East, where lions were revered as symbols of unyielding strength and high social standing. Faint light marks on the lion's head remain from the original paint that once adorned this magnificent sculpture.
