Tritons with Hippocamps Self-researched

Artist: Pietro Bracci
Location: Trevi Fountain, Rome
Medium: Marble sculpture
Date: 1761-1762

Two tritons guide Oceanus's shell chariot, each controlling a hippocamp (sea horse). One triton blows a conch shell to announce the god's approach, while the other struggles to tame a wild hippocamp. The contrast between the calm and agitated horses symbolizes the moods of the sea.
