Impost Block with Acanthus Decoration 12th century French This capital resembles sculpture in the crypt of the royal abbey of Saint-Denis, north of Paris. As the burial place of French kings, Saint-Denis enjoyed unrivaled prestige; artistic innovations adopted there resonated throughout the region and indeed, throughout France. The choir of the abbey constructed under Abbot Suger is often considered the first example of a new architectural style, known today as Gothic. In the wake of the French Revolution, sculpture and building materials from a number of monuments were sent to Saint-Denis for storage; this piece may, therefore, come from another church in the area..

One of the Medici lions displayed at the Loggia dei Lanzi, Florence, Italy. One of two marble lion sculptures originally placed around at the Villa Medici (circa 1600 AD) and displayed at the Loggia dei Lanzi since 1789. The sculpture depicts a standing male lion looking to the side, with a sphere under his paw. The first lion originates from the 2nd century BC. It was a relief that was reworked by Giovanni di Scherano Fancelli in 1598. The second was made sometime between 1570 and 1598 by Flaminio Vacca as a pendant to the first.
