''Prometheus Bound'' is a renowned oil painting by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, created in collaboration with Frans Snyders, a painter specialized in animals and still life. Completed between 1611 and 1612, this masterpiece of Baroque art depicts the ancient Greek myth of Prometheus, a Titan who was punished by Zeus for stealing fire from the gods and giving it to mankind. The painting is currently housed in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

In this dramatic work, Rubens captures the moment of Prometheus's eternal punishment. The Titan is shown bound to a rock in the Caucasus Mountains, his body contorted in agony as an eagle, painted by Snyders, tears at his liver. According to the myth, Prometheus's liver would regenerate daily, only to be eaten again, rendering his suffering endless. The painting is notable for its dynamic composition, muscular detail, and emotional intensity, all characteristic of Rubens's vigorous Baroque style. The use of chiaroscuro and the dramatic play of light and shadow enhance the sense of depth and the physicality of Prometheus's struggle.

The collaboration between Rubens and Snyders on this painting is a testament to the practice of specialization among artists during the Baroque period. While Rubens focused on the figure of Prometheus and the overall composition, Snyders contributed his expertise in rendering the eagle with lifelike precision and texture. ''Prometheus Bound'' stands as a powerful expression of human endurance and resilience in the face of suffering, and it remains a significant work in the oeuvre of both Peter Paul Rubens and Frans Snyders.
