“…30 Brigit Blass-Simmen refers to only one of the stag's symbolic meanings, suggesting that the motif of the stag is to be understood as a symbol of the Eucharist. 31 She dedicates her paper to identifying the formal sources of the animals, such as drawings by Pisanello, Mantegna and others, and suggests that the work has a "patchwork" effect, since "the parakeet, the marten, the pair of rabbits, and the leopard-stag group seem glued onto the landscape". 32 Below, as will be exemplified by the detail of the lion, we can see that no "patchwork" exists in Carpaccio's Meditation, since, just as Borroughs maintained, every detail in this magnificent, mysterious painting, is well calculated.…”

The current paper will concentrate on the lion featured in Vittore Carpaccio’s Meditation on the Passion. The multiple meanings of the lion in primary sources will serve as a key towards demonstrating the concept of prophecy, one of the multi-level meanings referring to all three figures featured in the painting—Job, Christ and St. Jerome. To this, an interpretation not discussed hitherto with reference to the Meditation will be added—the lion as alluding to the concept of wisdom as referred to in the book of Job. Furthermore, the lion and the wisdom will be discussed as an allusion to the self-image of Venice during the period in which the painting was executed, and thus add another, social and civic, reading.
