"Prometheus Being Chained by Vulcan" is a 1623 oil painting by the Dutch artist Dirck van Baburen, a prominent figure in the Utrecht Caravaggism movement during the early 17th century. The painting depicts the ancient Greek myth of Prometheus, a Titan who defied the gods by stealing fire and giving it to humanity. As punishment for his transgression, the chief of the gods, Zeus, orders Prometheus to be eternally bound to a rock. In Baburen's interpretation, Vulcan, the god of fire and metalworking, is shown chaining Prometheus, with the scene often characterized by dramatic lighting and intense emotion, hallmarks of the Caravaggisti style.

The work is notable for its dynamic composition, the stark contrasts of light and shadow, and the powerful depiction of physical and emotional strain. Baburen's use of chiaroscuro and his ability to capture the human form in a moment of tension reflect the influence of Caravaggio, whose style had a profound impact on many Northern European artists of the period. "Prometheus Being Chained by Vulcan" is considered an important example of Baburen's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Caravaggist tendencies in Dutch Golden Age painting.

This painting, like many of Baburen's works, demonstrates his skill in rendering human anatomy and his penchant for dramatic subject matter. The artwork is part of a larger body of European art that explores classical mythology through the lens of Baroque aesthetics, and it offers insight into the cultural and artistic exchanges between Italy and the Netherlands during the 17th century.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance within the context of Dutch Baroque art and the broader European tradition of mythological painting.
