"Prometeo Incatenato" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Cesare Fracanzano. The title translates to "Prometheus Bound" in English, and the work depicts the mythological figure Prometheus, who was punished by Zeus for stealing fire from the gods and giving it to mankind. In the myth, Prometheus is bound to a rock as an eternal punishment, with an eagle sent daily to eat his liver, which would then regenerate overnight.

Fracanzano's rendition of this classical subject is noted for its dramatic intensity and the vivid portrayal of Prometheus's suffering. The painting is a prime example of the Baroque style, characterized by its use of strong contrasts between light and dark, dynamic composition, and emotional expressiveness. Fracanzano's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs stark lighting to create a sense of depth and volume, enhances the dramatic effect of the scene and draws the viewer's attention to the central figure of the bound Titan.

Cesare Fracanzano (1605–1651) was an Italian painter from the Baroque period, born in Bisceglie. He was a student of the prominent artist Jusepe de Ribera and is known for his religious and mythological scenes, as well as his realistic portraits. "Prometeo Incatenato" is considered one of Fracanzano's significant works, showcasing his skill in capturing human emotion and his mastery of Baroque artistic principles.

The painting is part of the collection of the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy, where it remains an important piece for both its artistic value and its depiction of a timeless mythological narrative. "Prometeo Incatenato" continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the Baroque movement and its place within the oeuvre of Cesare Fracanzano.
