EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Prometheus, tormented by an eagle" takes us on a journey into the depths of Greek mythology. Created by the talented German painter Alexander Zick in 1897, this print beautifully captures one of the most iconic and enduring tales from ancient Greece. In this scene, we witness Prometheus, chained to a desolate rock as punishment for his audacious act of stealing fire from the gods and giving it to humanity. The torment inflicted upon him is vividly depicted as an eagle relentlessly feasts upon his liver day after day. However, due to Prometheus' immortality, his liver miraculously regenerates each night only to be devoured again come dawn. Zick's attention to detail and mastery of lithography bring forth a sense of anguish and despair that permeate throughout the artwork. The somber tones and intricate linework add depth and texture to every element portrayed - from Prometheus' anguished expression to the menacing presence of the eagle. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are reminded not only of Prometheus' suffering but also his unwavering defiance against divine authority. His selfless act bestowed mankind with knowledge and enlightenment at great personal cost. "Prometheus, tormented by an eagle" serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a poignant reminder of humanity's eternal struggle against oppressive forces. It stands as a testament to Zick's artistic prowess in capturing profound mythological narratives through his remarkable talent with lithography.
