Prometheus Strangling the Vulture - Philadelphia Musaum of Art #44582191
Description
In Prometheus Strangling the Vulture, Lipchitz represented the mythic Greek hero who brought fire to humans, here locked in deadly struggle with the winged beast sent by the gods as punishment for his independence. Balanced gracefully on a tiny cloud, the muscular Prometheus will clearly be the victor as he throttles the bird with one hand and fends off his talons with the other.
