CARCOLITI, elephant and lion from Boí is a 1100 unspecified by Master of Boí, a Byzantine icon painting work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting is a fragment of a larger work, featuring a red, black, and gold color scheme. The top section shows a circular design with a red and black center, surrounded by a gold border. Below this, a lion is depicted in a gray tone, facing left. The lion's body is rendered in a simplified, almost abstract style, with bold lines and minimal detail. The surrounding border is decorated with intricate patterns and designs, adding visual interest to the piece. For more information on the artist behind this work, explore the art of Master of Boí.
This unknown artist decorated a 12th-century church in Boí, Spain, with carved stone scenes and animals.
