About this motif
Henry the Lion had the Brunswick Lion erected in the 12th century as a sign of his power. It is regarded as the first free-standing large-scale sculpture of the Middle Ages north of the Alps; a copy stands on the square today.
In the larger version (8 x 11 cm) Beloch shows Burgplatz with the lion, castle and towers in greater detail, the walls in warm tones. On 18 x 24 cm paper, black and white, coloured or framed.
