Representing Henry the Navigator at the Promontory of Sagres

Fascinating image. I see that it is a depiction of Uranus upon a Chariot of Wat’ry horses. Is there a particular narrative associated with this image?

Yes, but Neptune, surely. I’m not aware of any story except that it’s Henry at Sagres, but that’s of course symbolic of his achievements.
