Lore

Created by Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens in 1612, it is currently housed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The painting employs a diagonal composition to depict the moment the giant eagle devours Prometheus's liver, with the tension in the human muscles clashing dramatically against the spread of the eagle's wings.
