"Prometheus Tortured by a Vulture" is a significant 1731 engraving by Bernard Picart, a renowned French engraver, illustrator, and publisher, whose work is distinguished by its detail, precision, and expressive power. This piece is part of the rich tapestry of European art that explores classical mythology, specifically the tale of Prometheus, a Titan in Greek mythology who is best known for stealing fire from the gods and giving it to humanity. This act of defiance led to his eternal punishment by Zeus, condemned to have his liver eaten daily by an eagle or vulture, only for it to regenerate overnight, in a perpetual cycle of suffering.

Picart's rendition of this mythological scene is a masterful display of the engraving art form, capturing the agony and resilience of Prometheus with intricate detail and emotional depth. The work is emblematic of the Enlightenment's interest in classical themes, reflecting the period's values of reason, knowledge, and the questioning of authority. Through this piece, Picart not only showcases his exceptional skill and artistic vision but also contributes to the ongoing dialogue between art, mythology, and the human condition.

Bernard Picart's "Prometheus Tortured by a Vulture" stands as a poignant representation of the enduring power of mythological narratives to inspire art that explores fundamental aspects of human experience, such as suffering, defiance, and the quest for knowledge. This work remains an important part of Picart's oeuvre and a valuable piece for scholars and enthusiasts of art history, particularly those interested in the interplay between Enlightenment ideals and classical mythology.
