About ‘Prometheus chained by Vulcan, Dirck van Baburen, 1623’
Prometheus chained by Vulcan, Dirck van Baburen, 1623
Prometheus stole the fire from the gods to give it to the people. As punishment, Vulcan chained him to a rock, where an eagle pecked him out of the liver with hellish pains. This is where Prometheus is handcuffed. His face is twisted with fear. Mercury laughs at him. The dramatic lighting and the red-burnt hands and faces made Van Baburen look back on his great example of Caravaggio.
