The composition is rich in symbolism, reflecting the profound impact that fire has had on human civilization. As flames dance around them, Prometheus's expression exudes wisdom and compassion, embodying his role as humanity's benefactor. The intensity of the colors used in this chromolitho adds depth and vibrancy to the artwork, enhancing its dramatic effect. Published during the late 19th or early 20th century, this Liebig card from a series on the legend of Prometheus serves as an educational tool for those seeking to delve into ancient literature and mythology.
