Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Lionne, the regal lioness, synonymous with power and grace, is depicted in various forms - from the majestic creature in Robert Nanteuil's engraving 'Lowin,' to the mourning lioness in Jean de La Fontaine's 'The Funeral of the Lioness.' In the wild, a lioness's yawn echoes the serene tranquility of Kruger National Park, South Africa. Jules-Paul de Lionne, a French artist, immortalized the lioness's noble spirit in his painting 'Artus de Lionne, French Missionary.' Hugues De Lionne, a knight, and Louis-Simon Lempereur's depiction of 'La lionne et son cub' showcase the tender side of this mighty feline. From French society ladies to French missionaries, the lioness's allure transcends time and culture.
