Walter Crane artwork entitled The Horses of Neptune - illustration pour 'La Legende mythologique grecque'
Artist Walter Crane was greatly influenced by Burne-Jones and the Pre-Raphaelites. His painting The Horses of Neptune is an iconic image depicting the power of the sea. The god Neptune charges forward with his horses, who boldly rise from the waves. Instead of hooves, their feet are webbed which indicates they are probably the mythical sea-horses known as hippocamps or hippocampus. Hippocamps appear in Greek, Roman, and Etruscan mythology, but they also are seen in Scotland and Ireland as kelpies - Stephanie Chatfield
