"Prometheus" is a notable painting by the British artist Briton Rivière, created in 1889. Rivière, who was renowned for his animal paintings and classical themes, brings to life the mythological tale of Prometheus with a dramatic and poignant composition. The painting depicts the moment from Greek mythology when Prometheus, a Titan, is punished by Zeus for stealing fire from the gods and giving it to humanity. As a consequence, Prometheus is bound to a rock, where an eagle is sent daily to eat his liver, which regenerates each night.

Rivière's interpretation of this mythological scene is both powerful and evocative. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of Prometheus's muscular form, the rugged texture of the rock, and the menacing presence of the eagle. The use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic tension of the scene, highlighting the suffering and resilience of Prometheus. The painting captures the essence of the myth, emphasizing themes of defiance, suffering, and the enduring human spirit.

Briton Rivière's "Prometheus" is celebrated for its emotional depth and technical excellence. The painting reflects Rivière's academic training and his ability to convey complex narratives through his art. It stands as a significant work within his oeuvre and contributes to the rich tradition of mythological painting in the 19th century. The painting is housed in the Manchester Art Gallery, where it continues to be admired for its artistic merit and its powerful depiction of a timeless myth.
