Sculptures - Lions at the Door of the Church of S. Lorenzo is a 1866 photographic by John Henry Parker, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This black-and-white photo shows two stone lions guarding a doorway. One lion sits calmly with its front paws together, while the other crouches with its head lowered and wings spread. The doorway behind them has a dark, arched shape and a closed door. These lions look like they’re carved from real stone, with detailed fur and sharp claws. The photo itself is grainy, making the textures pop even more. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more original photos like this one.
