Description
This is a reproduction of Jean-Louis-Cesar Lair's "The Torture of Prometheus" of 1819. Lair was born in 1781 and died at the age of forty-seven. This Neo-classical masterpiece portrays the sufferings of Prometheus whose name means "fore-thought". In Greek mythology Prometheus store fire from the Olympians and gave it to man for he had pity on mankind because of human beings had no physical attributes with which to defend themselves. For this betrayal of the gods, Zeus condemned Prometheus to have his liver torn out by an eagle on a daily basis because his liver would grow back each night. Herakles finally liberated Prometheus from his torture.
