About this work
A painting shows the muscular, bearded hero Hercules standing beside the chained figure of Prometheus, who reclines with his arms outstretched while a wounded eagle lies on the rocks below, pierced by an arrow. A winged female figure in a pink drape holds a laurel wreath above Hercules, set against a dark rocky cliff. This work, titled Hercules Delivering Prometheus, is attributed to Nicolas Bertin and dated 1703.
