EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of Prometheus being nailed to the rock by Hephaestus, Kratos, and Bia. Taken from Aeschylus' Promethee Enchaîné, published in 1941, this pochoir print by François-Louis Schmied is a true masterpiece.

The majestic mountains towering in the background serve as a stark reminder of Prometheus' isolation and immobility while emphasizing the grandeur of this mythological scene.
