Riding a Wild Sea Horse – Library of Congress, Capitol Hill, Washington, DC

Riding a Wild Sea Horse – Library of Congress, Capitol Hill, Washington, DC
The Court of Neptune Fountain is located in front of the Library of Congress Building. There are three major bronze castings, each mounted on a large rock and several smaller castings in the surrounding waters, such as turtles, frogs, serpents and dolphins.

In the niches on either side of Neptune, is a nymph riding a wild sea horse. Out in the basin four turtles, two frogs, and a sea serpent spray water. On the retaining wall, just above the niches, are reliefs of dolphins and stalactites.
