"Lion and Serpent" is a renowned bronze sculpture created by the French artist Antoine-Louis Barye (1796–1875). Barye, who is often referred to as the "Michelangelo of the Menagerie," was a pioneering figure in the field of animalier, a genre of sculpture that focuses on the realistic portrayal of animals. The sculpture depicts a dramatic encounter between two powerful creatures—a lion and a serpent—capturing a moment of intense struggle that highlights the ferocity and majesty of the animal kingdom.

First exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1833, "Lion and Serpent" quickly established Barye's reputation as a master sculptor. The piece was commissioned by King Louis-Philippe of France for the Tuileries Garden, where it still stands today, and it marked the beginning of Barye's long and successful career as a public sculptor. The work is characterized by its dynamic composition and the meticulous attention to anatomical detail, which was a hallmark of Barye's artistic approach.

Barye's ability to convey movement and emotion in his sculptures set a new standard for animal sculpture and had a significant influence on future generations of artists. "Lion and Serpent" is not only a testament to Barye's skill and artistic vision but also reflects the Romantic era's fascination with the natural world and the primal forces embodied by these creatures. The sculpture remains an important piece in the history of French art and continues to be admired for its powerful expression and technical excellence.
