"Prometheus" is a renowned oil painting by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera (also known as José de Ribera), created in 1630. The artwork is a striking depiction of the mythological figure Prometheus, who, according to Greek mythology, was punished by Zeus for stealing fire from the gods and giving it to mankind. Ribera's interpretation of the myth is a powerful example of the Baroque style, emphasizing dramatic lighting, strong contrasts between light and shadow, and intense emotional expression.

The painting portrays Prometheus bound to a rock, an eagle tearing at his liver, which would regenerate daily as part of his eternal punishment. Ribera's mastery of chiaroscuro is evident in the way he uses light to sculpt the figure's musculature and to highlight the agony on Prometheus's face. The work is imbued with a sense of suffering and endurance, reflecting both the physical and psychological torment of the protagonist.

Ribera, who spent most of his career in Naples, was influenced by Caravaggio and was a leading figure in the Spanish Baroque movement. His works are characterized by their realism, attention to detail, and the often stark portrayal of human suffering. "Prometheus" is considered one of Ribera's most significant works and is frequently studied for its embodiment of the Baroque fascination with drama, emotion, and the exploration of the human condition.

The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its powerful interpretation of the Prometheus myth. It remains an important work for scholars interested in Baroque art, the influence of Caravaggism, and the oeuvre of Jusepe de Ribera. "Prometheus" is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be an object of admiration and study for art enthusiasts and professionals alike.
