EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of Prometheus nailed to the Rock, as depicted in Aeschylus' renowned play "Promethee Enchaine". Created by the talented artist Francois-Louis Schmied in 1941, this pochoir print beautifully brings to life the ancient Greek mythological tale. In this haunting image, we witness Prometheus bound tightly to a rugged rock formation. The chains that confine him symbolize his punishment for stealing fire from Mount Olympus and giving it to humanity against Zeus' will. As he endures unimaginable agony, an eagle viciously tears out his liver, only for it to regenerate overnight due to Prometheus' immortality. Schmied's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this artwork. The somber color palette enhances the sense of despair and suffering emanating from Prometheus. Each line etched on his face reflects years of torment endured at the hands of Zeus' wrathful vengeance. The significance of this timeless myth lies not only in its portrayal of human resilience but also in its exploration of rebellion against authority and championing progress. It serves as a reminder that even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges, there is always hope for redemption and renewal. As you gaze upon this poignant print, allow yourself to be transported into a world where gods clash with mortals and where one man's sacrifice ignites a flame that forever changes humanity's destiny.
