About the piece
Created around 1611–1618, this monumental work is a celebrated collaboration between Peter Paul Rubens, who painted the figure of Prometheus, and Frans Snyders, who executed the formidable predatory eagle. The painting captures the height of Baroque drama through its diagonal composition, muscular anatomy, and high-contrast lighting, depicting the eternal punishment of the Titan who stole fire from the gods.
