    Click-to-enlarge image can be found here, or at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry.A Lion Attacking a Horse is shown, with a different coloration, click-to-enlarge image, by its current-location page (Google Art Project page provides click-to-humongous image).A description is provided on pages 174-176 of an online book (page 176 also describes another version). A discussion of a third version (in two different media) can be found on pages 64-65, and 296-297.A click-to-larger-than-actual-size image of the enamel on copper can be found here, and a click-to-larger-than-actual-size image of the oil on panel can be found here (same museum as this painting). The artist’s Wikipedia page (shows yet a fourth version) and collection (more in Subcategories at each level).Third, of the 4 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.

    If the lion can stay on for seven seconds, he gets a new belt with a big honkin’ buckle on it.
