EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an ancient Greek myth that has fascinated generations. In a vertical panoramic frame, we are transported to the outdoors, where daylight illuminates a scene filled with symbolism and emotion. Standing in front of us is a young man, his full-length figure exuding strength and resilience. Dressed in historical clothing, he embodies the spirit of Prometheus, the Titan who dared to challenge divine authority. The artist's skillful illustration and painting bring this mythological tale to life. Adorned in a regal purple lion cloth, our protagonist stands chained to a rock - an allegory for his punishment inflicted by Zeus himself. The agony etched on his face reflects both physical pain and unwavering determination. As we delve into this artwork's details, we notice the presence of a menacing harpy lurking nearby - symbolizing torment and suffering. This visual representation serves as a reminder of Prometheus' eternal struggle against adversity. Through this powerful image, Encyclopaedia Britannica / Universal Images Group invites us to contemplate themes such as rebellion, sacrifice, and human progress found within ancient Rome and Greece mythology. It serves as an enduring testament to mankind's insatiable thirst for knowledge and its consequences when challenging established norms
