Prometheus Bound
Prometheus Bound - Thomas Cole 1847 - Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
Full description
Prometheus Bound is an 1847 oil painting by American artist Thomas Cole. It is one of Cole's largest paintings, draws from the ancient Greek tragedy Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus. Cole sent it to London for an 1847 exhibit and competition to decorate the Houses of Parliament, and the painting was still in London when he died. It thus received little exhibition in the United States in the 1840s, making its reception (and its theme) difficult to judge.
