"Prometheus" is a renowned oil painting by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Created in 1630, this work is a striking example of Ribera's mastery in depicting human suffering and his profound influence by Caravaggio's dramatic chiaroscuro technique. The painting portrays the mythical figure Prometheus, a Titan from Greek mythology, who was punished by Zeus for stealing fire from the gods and giving it to mankind. According to the myth, Prometheus was bound to a rock, where an eagle would eat his liver every day, only for it to regenerate each night due to his immortality.

Ribera's "Prometheus" is a powerful depiction of this eternal torment. The painting captures the moment of the eagle's attack, emphasizing the agony and heroism of Prometheus. The Titan's muscular body is rendered with anatomical precision, a testament to Ribera's skill in human anatomy, and his expression conveys a deep sense of pain and resilience. The use of light and shadow not only highlights the physicality of the scene but also imbues it with a psychological intensity that is characteristic of Ribera's work.

This painting is part of Ribera's exploration of the theme of martyrdom and human suffering, which is prevalent throughout his oeuvre. "Prometheus" is often considered one of Ribera's most significant works, reflecting both his artistic talents and his philosophical engagement with the human condition. The painting is held in high regard for its emotional impact, technical prowess, and its place within the broader context of the Baroque period's fascination with dramatic narrative scenes.

Today, "Prometheus" is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to Baroque art and its enduring representation of mythological themes. Ribera's work remains influential, and "Prometheus" exemplifies the enduring power of visual art to convey complex human emotions and timeless stories.
