Ittiocentauro

Ichthyocentaurs, or marine centaur, ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthyoc… ) was a kind of creatures part of the Poseidon's court in greek mythology.
This is one of my illustrations (slightly updated) for the 2011 book "Animali fantastici" (not related with the Harry Potter's spin-off that, in italian, share the same title) ( www.amazon.it/Animali-fantasti… ) about the greek, roman and etruscan mythology creatures and monsters.
Like all the other illustrations, it is made to looks similar to the sanguine of the fifteenth century.
