Prometheus Attacked by the Eagle

Charles Renaud

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a male figure in a dramatic pose leaning against a rocky formation. His right arm is raised defensively towards a large bird on his left. The bird is detailed with spread wings and an open beak. The sculpture is made of a dark, glossy material, likely bronze, with a multi-faceted rocky base. The interaction between the man and the bird is intense and dynamic.
