Vulcan's Forge (1945–1951) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won the 1947 Champagne Stakes as a two-year-old, the 1948 Withers Stakes, and in 1949 the prestigious Santa Anita and Suburban Handicaps.

The Forge Of Vulcan (Vasari)
''The Forge of Vulcan'' or ''Vulcan's Forge'' is an oil-on-copper painting by the Italian artist Giorgio Vasari, executed ''c.'' 1564, now in the Uffizi in Florence. A copy painted ''c.'' 1565–1567 by Pier Candido is now in Windsor Castle as part of the Royal Collection. Influenced by the Medici court under Cosimo I and Francesco I, its themes and composition are similar to panels from the studiolo of the Palazzo Vecchio. Like them it derives from a letter to Vasari by Vincenzo Borghini, in which the writer recommended he paint not just a forge but also "an Academy of certain virtues" led by Minerva. This was a cultured reference to the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno that Vasari had founded in 1563 under the protection of Cosimo I. From 1589 onwards and possibly earlier it was displayed in the Tribuna of the Uffizi. Gloria Fossi, ''Uffizi'', Giunti, Firenze 2004.
