Description
Detail of the Fontana di Trevi in Rome, statue of Ocean, on a shell-shaped coach pulled by two sea horses, one "placido" (not visible in this picture) and the other "agitato", as a reference to the calm or rough state of the sea. The sea horses are in turn driven by tritons (sea kings).
The main architect of the fountain is Nicola Salvi. The main group with Ocean, coach, horses and tritons is by Pietro Bracci (1759 - 1762).
