About the Item
Title:"Hercules breaking the bonds of Prometheus II" Artist: Derek Overfield Re-visiting a theme from 2016, this version also depicts the hero Hercules (Heracles) as he rends apart the adamantine bonds holding Prometheus captive. Prometheus was bound by Might and Force as Hephaestus used his craft (quite unwillingly in Aeschylus' "Prometheus Bound") to chain the rebellious titan. There he suffered for generations until, as foretold, the hero Hercules came upon him in his travels. To his relief, Hercules slew the eagle that plagued Prometheus and tore apart the unbreakable chains. In this painting, the hero kneels down and powerfully grasps the unseen chains in his mighty grip. His muscles knot as he prepares to pry the Olympus-crafted chains apart. Above is a semi-abstract figurative work done from life. The work is completed using a subtractive/additive method utilizing latex paint. The piece is sold unstretched. It can be restretched either inexpensively at a frame shop or DIY and presented in a gallery wrap style. It ships in a sturdy tube, rolled. Statement "and around his head the fair goddess set thick a golden cloud, and forth from the man made blaze a gleaming fire... there he stood and shouted... and when they heard the brazen voice of the son of Aeacus the hearts of all were dismayed." - Homer, The Iliad My work is influenced by the classical and the romantic, the archaic and the modern - and strives for the monumental, divine and quietly brutal. Through paint and line I seek to capture the light of existence, that "gleaming fire", as well as to portray its gravity. I strive to celebrate the figure, its mysterious power and charisma. Like a purging fire, I hope to burn away the ornament, the unnecessary, in order to expose the purity beneath. :: Painting :: Fine Art :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: No :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Back lower right :: Canvas :: Portrait :: Original :: Framed: No
