Description

Coat of Arms with a Lion and a Cock places a lion in the heraldic shield while a cock rises above an elaborate crest of curling ornament. The two animals bring different kinds of energy into the design: the lion provides a compact central emblem, and the bird gives the upper outline a lively, spreading shape. Coat of Arms with a Lion and a Cock balances formal identity with an imaginative abundance of detail.

Engraved around 1502, the work describes feathers, heraldic forms and decorative flourishes through a finely varied web of lines. The crowded ornament continually leads attention back toward the shield, giving the composition both movement and a stable center. Its interest goes beyond the recognition of its devices. Each small curl and textured surface contributes to a design that rewards patient examination, turning a formal emblem into an engaging field of visual invention.
