The stylobate lion at the entrance to the Palazzo dei Priori

Il leone stiloforo all'ingresso del Palazzo dei Priori di Perugia

The column-bearing lion at the entrance of the Palazzo dei Priori in Perugia.
I like to photograph the statues of animals that I encounter while traveling. And this is not the first time that I encounter a lion holding up a column at the entrance of a building (in this case it is called a column-bearing lion).
This statue, which is a pair with the one on the other side of the entrance, is located at the entrance of the Palazzo dei Priori in Perugia, the building that is home to the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria.

Here's where the statue is located:

The stylophoros is an architectural term derived from Greek and meaning “style bearer”, that is, column bearer. It is used to indicate those sculptures of animals or fantastic monsters placed at the base of the supporting columns of the porches or even pulpits usually in Romanesque churches. Unlike the caryatid, a sculpture that replaces the entire column by acting as a support for the trabeation, the stylophoros constitutes only the base of the column.

The work, intended for the convent of Sant’Antonio in Perugia, was begun shortly after the artist’s return from Rome, around 1460. Like the Polyptych of Mercy, it is a work of archaic style, certainly at the request of the patrons, with the main figures painted on a precious gold background and with a motif that imitates precious fabrics, perhaps inspired by Iberian models that the artist may have seen during his stay in Rome. The upper panel of the Annunciation is decidedly modern.

The Polyptych of Sant’Agostino is an oil painting on panel by Pietro Perugino, datable to two phases, one from 1502 to 1512 approximately and one from 1513 to 1523 approximately, preserved in most of the compartments at the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria in Perugia. The polyptych was originally intended for the church of Sant’Agostino in Perugia and can be considered the artist’s last great work before his late production, destined for more provincial centres.

Pietro di Cristoforo Vannucci, known as Pietro Perugino, il Perugino or il divin pittorico (Città della Pieve, circa 1448 – Fontignano, February 1523), was an Italian painter. Owner of two very active workshops at the same time, in Florence and Perugia, he was for a couple of decades the most famous and influential Italian painter of his time, so much so that Agostino Chigi defined him as: “the best master in Italy”. He fused together the light and monumentality of Piero della Francesca with the naturalism and linear ways of Andrea del Verrocchio, filtering them through the gentle ways of Umbrian painting. He was Raphael's teacher.
