So finally I learn who this statue is supposed to be! Anyway: it's a great pic; the statue looks like floating on the fountain, carried by the water...

Prometheus at Rockefeller Center Paul Manship's highly recognizable bronze gilded statue of the Greek legend of the Titan Prometheus recumbent, bringing fire to mankind, features prominently in the sunken plaza at the front of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The model for Prometheus was Leonardo (Leon) Nole, and the inscription from Aeschylus, on the granite wall behind, reads: "Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends." Although some sources cite it as the fourth-most familiar statue in the United States, behind the Lincoln Memorial, Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty, Manship was not particularly fond or proud of it.

A most magnificent piece! Prometheus has always fascinated me and I've used him in several of my poems. Your composition in this shot is extremely effective.

How much pain did he suffer, death was not given to him to stop the suffering...NOW and HERE if he looks down from Mythology Heaven or Hell, he smiles happy....not feeeling more but pleasure, as You Tjebbe give him Justice with your perfection....Gotta run to my book on Mythology to see if there is a Promethea also:)))
