Description
Introducing the 'Antique-Vintage-Retro' collection by Serge Averbukh, showcasing various historical images, which were meticulously restored and enhanced by means of convergent media, and presented in a form of high quality large format fine art prints. Here you will find pieces featuring Winged Lion Chimera from Casa San Isidora, Santiago in Gold on Black.
The Chimera (also Chimaera) was, according to Greek mythology, a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of more than one animal. It is usually depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat arising from its back, and a tail that might end with a snake's head, and was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra.
The term chimera has come to describe any mythical or fictional animal with parts taken from various animals, or to describe anything composed of very disparate parts, or perceived as wildly imaginative, implausible, or dazzling. In Medieval art, although the Chimera of antiquity was forgotten, chimerical figures appear as embodiments of the deceptive, even satanic forces of raw nature. Provided with a human face and a scaly tail, as in Dante's vision of Geryon in Inferno, hybrid monsters, more akin to the Manticore of Pliny's Natural History, provided iconic representations of hypocrisy and fraud well into the seventeenth century, through an emblemmatic representation in Cesare Ripa's Iconologia.
