I love the way the central activity of the Turk sinking into the water seems to be integrated with the scenery, yet still can be a focal point. Originally that was Neptune with his proud horses along with Venus and Minerva in front. I like how the power of composition can be retained even when the artist clothed them and changed labels. There's a wonderful transition to the figurative drama from the distant background with the haze of the smoke on the left.
