Nautical Day, Part 2 - Neptune, King of the Oceans


The second half of our double feature has six sculptural versions of Neptune.  
He is often shown with a crown and trident, but only has his crown here.  
This 1576 piece is by Bartolome Ammannati, and it can be seen in Florence, Italy.

  1. This statue is in the Piazza Della Signorina, in Florence. This is the Fountain of Neptune.
