The marble statue of the Lion King crushing the evil snake in Rittenhouse Square
The sculpture is the first one installed in Rittenhouse Square, and the Lion King crushing the evil snake is a sculpture created by French Romantic sculptor Antoine Louis Barry, symbolizing the monarchy's lion suppressing the evil snake. This sculpture may be seen as a meaningful statement about social order: the lion here generally refers to the royal family, and more specifically, to the city of Lyon, as its emblem features a lion with an open mouth and a royal iris decoration below. The sculpture is now housed in the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in the United States.
