"Prometheus Bound", the author is Peter Paul Rubens. This painting is an oil on canvas and is dipicting Prometheus having his liver eaten out by an eagle. The theme behind this painting is the story of Prometheus, the God who was chained to a mountain top and was to have his liver eatten every night by an eagle, and then it would regrow only to be eatten again the next night. I picked this because I like the story, and i think its a disturbing event which is pretty cool.
